And maturity counts in biz more than anything else.
Also working for companies will tell you what it takes to do biz.
This is a myth. The history of startups shows us that the best
entrepreneurs were neither mature nor experienced when they started out
If anything, the history of college-dropout entrepreneurs shows us that
understanding a specific customer need and build a kickass product to
address it is the best way to build a startup.
In fact, I'd argue that starting a company before you work for anyone else
will ensure that you have an open mind before dogma kicks in. Now running a
startup -- once it becomes a full-fledged company -- takes experience. That
is when maturity, experience, and understanding the caveats of doing
business in the real world becomes important.
Best,
Karthik

Without them who will you work for?
Give it your best shot.
But the reason I feel you should not start now is that it is rare to
see mature people below
the age of 26 or 28.

True, the maturity/experience always counts in biz than anything else.
@Girish - The best answer for those who think about making a career in FOSS
business.
