Fremont: Who said age is a barrier in becoming an entrepreneur? Several entrepreneurs have proved this statement wrong. Below mentioned are few such entrepreneurs who broke the barrier and crated history.

Harland (Colonel) Sanders

Who does not know about Kentucky Fried Chicken, better known as KFC. Harland (Colonel) Sanders founded KFC at the age of 65 using his first Social Security check as startup funds.

At the age of 40, Harland was running a service station in Kentucky where he would cook chicken dishes and other meals for people. He opened a restaurant across the street, but closed it in 1952, and devoted himself to franchising his chicken business. He travelled across the country and prepared chicken from restaurant to restaurant, striking deals that paid him a nickel for every chicken sold. Later, in 1964, he sold his interest in the company for $2 million to a group of investors.
