Are older entrepreneurs, sometimes dubbed third age entrepreneurs, encore entrepreneurs or seniorpreneurs more likely to start businesses than recent college graduates?

The answer seems to be yes, at least for financially stable and healthy seniors.

They have an own source of early stage capital (their pensions and savings), greater schedule flexibility, a wider professional network and a wealth of industry experience that grants them vital knowledge of areas ripe for innovation.
