The Real (Slightly Gray) Face of Entrepreneurship

Behind every new internet craze, technology and social media is a hip, young twenty-something on their way to building an empire, or so it seems.  While the younger generation is probably behind most of the online revolutions, the media certainly portrays this group as the majority of entrepreneurs with their “Top 30 Entrepreneurs Under 30,” “20 Most Innovative Entrepreneurs Under 20,” and who knows, someday there might be the “10 Most Brilliant 10 Year-Olds.”  While we are obviously captivated by the hip, bright and silly-rich, young entrepreneurs, a study by the Kauffman Foundation, a non-profit group that encourages entrepreneurship, shows that the baby boomer generation has the highest rate of entrepreneurship.
