Does it matter the industry? Because if not then I would suggest: Financial Advisors, Insurance Agents and Construction/Trades.
A lot of the construction/trade companies have owners that are over 60 and looking to retire soon. (i.e my job when I worked at a construction company, and was going to take it over in 5 years). A lot of them are old.
Another thing is to use Linkedin to find people with the title CEO/Owner and search through it based on year graduating from college.
Also pretty much anyone who uses classifieds to promote their company.
A lot of manufacturing, construction, trade, etc would be a good start.
