I used to think the same way but what I have witnessed over the years is that my entrepreneur friends who are married with children tend to be just as risk taking as young single ones.
I feel entrepreneurship is a mentality. Entrepreneurs will always take risk where they see opportunity. The risk just seems to become less foolhardy as they get older. No stats on this just an observation.
I don't think the poster is talking about propensity to entrepreneurship. I think the poster is talking about the propensity to generate media buzz. Young people make appealing subjects and it is exciting when they are smart and ambitious.
