More young entrepreneurs in the Merc this week, which writes that VCs are "prowling everywhere for young talent and brains." Zombie undertones aside, the startup scene looks a lot like the dating scene. One VC says that he meets start-uppers at bars and clubs. A Gen-X YouTube co-founder comments on two-month relationships filled with "fervor" and "risk."
Thing is, these VCs and the executives they bring on board are mostly 40ish, 50ish. With that age gap and the TIME photo of Larry, Sergey, and the babysitter? Looks like cradle-robbing is the new black.
