Getting into YC is a long shot (especially for me since I'm a single founder), but I got a lot out of the application itself being forced to criticize my own business model.
I don't want to put my application online, but if anyone is curious how I answered any of the questions, I'll do my best to oblige. I'd love to know what others think--the good and especially the bad.
EDIT: I'm not saying it's a bad idea. I just would think about rephrasing the wording on your website e.g that you are looking for "geeks with at least 15 years of experience". IANAL but I guess that could be ok from legal view.

> Write something to encourage older applicants without discriminating against younger ones
It's not so different from encouraging women to apply which is commonly found.
But obviously people could still sue and maybe you wouldn't want to fight that battle.

As I get further along I'll research the specifics. I'd want anyone to be able to apply to any of the jobs.
The idea is employers post knowing older candidates will apply, which makes the older candidates feel safe applying.
