I was 44 when I founded AllBright with Anna Jones.
I was 46 when we pivoted to a tech business during the pandemic.
At 51, as Chair of the Invest in Women Taskforce, I’m still adapting and learning.
✅ Millionaire by 25
✅ Forbes 30 Under 30
✅ A fresh-faced founder straight out of university
These things are the exceptions, not the norm.
The average age of a successful start-up founder is 45.
This stat doesn’t surprise me one bit because by your 40s:
• You’ve built experience.
• You have a stronger network.
• You understand your values and what truly matters.
• You know your strengths, weaknesses, and the best ways to work.
Your experience is your secret weapon. Use it to your advantage.
