Fab article, Max. I'm a fellow olderpreneur as part of a deliberate switch to a "portfolio" career. I have found that, as you get older, your interests broaden as well you gain a sharper focus on your life's meaning / legacy. I have never looked back since 2007.

Jonathan, I agree there is not a lot of info about olderpreneurs despite the huge numbers of people joining its ranks - see this FT article from earlier in 2017 https://www.ft.com/content/183a52a6-d9b6-11e6-944b-e7eb37a6aa8e

I think Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim put it best "....unless you are in a society where most work is physical, your 60s [he's now 77] could be your most successful, because of the knowledge you have. When you have a society of knowledge and experience and information, at this age is where you are at your best.”
