Good question. Depends on which one you "count." I started my first computer related business back in like 94 or so, doing in-home PC repair / maintenance stuff in the hicksville I lived in. I would have been 21 or so then.
But what I consider my first "real" startup is the project I'm working on now, Fogbeam Labs. IIRC, I was 36 when I filed the papers to create the legal entity... but the legal entity was actually originally created for what was going to be a consulting business... I just kept the name, structure, website, etc. when I decided to go the product route. By that definition, I guess I was 37 when I started my first startup.
I used to go on business trips and to trade shows with my Dad's electric vehicle startup in the 80s/90s. I was under 10 then. However, I'm putting down 24 since that is a little more realistic.
