Headspace was started at 38 by former monk Andy Puddicombe who exited at 50

Headspace, the meditation app, was started it in 2010 by @andypuddicombe when he was 38

Before that he spent 10 years as a monk in Asia and 5 years building his own meditation studio in London

Only after 15 years of that he founded a startup at 38

He exited last year at age 50

Not that 38 is old but people here still think they're too old to do a startup or make a life change and it's never true

I've tweeted this so many times but average successful startup founder age is 45!
