Interesting attempt at understanding who is an entrepreneur. However, the stats are significantly colored by the simple, basic fact that these people are a part of LinkedIn, and they are engaged in self-selected activities on that site. It is more likely people who are like-minded (and similar in their demographic) will engage with each other. If you look at the SBA stats you will see a *much* different picture. One note, though. No, most entrepreneurs are, indeed, not the young techies everyone thinks they are. Of of the over 650,000 new businesses registered *every* year in the U.S. alone, a vast majority are *not* in tech. This is a nice snapshot of the people on LinkedIn, but they are not representative.
