I don't think YC or the startup community is neglecting that group of entrepreneurs. That's my point. The fact is that when you have a family there are tradeoffs you accept. One of which is less flexibility to take on riskier and less stable career paths.

It also pains me when you keep repeating the "investors only invest in 20-somethings who are easy to manipulate" line which is an overly cynical line that is usually repeated by a vocal subset of HN/the media in context with YC, precisely because YC ensures that you aren't manipulated, and also because it is simply not true. Older entrepreneurs have advantages. Younger entrepreneurs also have advantages.

I don't get what you want here either. I think you're wrong. That's it.
