Keep in mind some founders have had careers before starting a company (average age of YC founders is like early 30s?) so they might have 10 years experience leading teams + some significant victories that came from their startup.
If someone fresh out of college just worked 5 years on their startup and then abandoned ship they probably wouldn't get a very impressive role unless their startup was a crazy fast success though.
