Of a fast-growing startup?
Yeah, which means, I think fast-growing was like top one in 10,000, top one in 10,000 growth.
Top like 1% or you mean?

What's the question?
What's the average age of a founder of one of those startups on the day of founding, according to MIT and the Census Bureau in Northwestern?

Good for you, 45.
Really?
Yeah.
