You want old finance companies.
In fact any company older that 30 probably won't care. I'm not a grey hair yet, but I actively hate startups. We aren't changing the world, we're helping cat photos load 3 milliseconds faster...

Or consider some finance startups.
For us it's not age or title, it's ability to learn and apply, throughout a span of experience. We've found those who learned and applied while the commercial Internet was being made, the web being made, the cloud being made, are better equipped for learning and applying today's higher abstractions.
If you helped build the stuff of which it is made, you can better create new things on top of it.
No. You don't load cat pictures faster by surrounding it with spyware and choose the cat pic with data from said spyware.
The question verges on the rhetorical.
Have you asked yourself why you hang out on this website given how you feel about startups?
Also, is it really fair to apply such a strong statement to all startups? Look at your screen and the browser you're using, the user interface concepts, the computer itself. Where do you think those came from?
Maybe they just like technology.
The HN guidelines cover what topics are relevant to submit as new posts here, and cover civility and usefulness of comments. That seems good enough.
Liquid crystal displays were invented at RCA, an old radio monopoly.
>and the browser you're using
CERN, a government-funded research lab.
>the user interface concepts
SRI, a government-funded research lab, and Xerox, an old copier monopoly.
>the computer itself
ENIAC was a US Army project.
I hate *working for* startups. It's fun when your young, not when you have bills.
