Are startups a young person’s game?

from Great Chat Hosted by Mackenzie Bohannon, Angela Du, Ashley Mayer, Helen Min, & Sally Shin

This week, we tackle a taboo topic: age. Is it harder than ever for young people to break into tech, or does it just feel that way? What does career longevity look like, especially for people who don’t hit escape velocity in their 20s? Also: we grapple with Serena Williams' Ro partnership, fantasize about the Meta and Midjourney licensing discussions, and plot a Great Chat Camp for Burning Man 2026. Mercury is back as the headline sponsor for season two! Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group, Column N.A., and Evolve Bank & Trust; Members FDIC. This podcast is edited by Eric Johnson from ⁠LightningPod.fm⁠.
