The Best Time is Now

Palmer Luckey argues starting a company at 18-19 requires no bravery because you have nothing real to lose.

• Luckey’s core claim: starting a company young isn’t high-risk because you have no family, career, or real job to sacrifice.
• At 18-19, the only downside is lost time — not income, status, or dependents.
• Most people overestimate the courage required to start young; the framing of ‘bravery’ is a misconception.
• The opportunity cost only grows with age — it never gets easier or lower-risk.
