It's a small percentage actually.

According to the SBA roughly 80% of startups fail. ( Although there are some issues with how they arrive at that figure )

Intuit Says:



But the information I find most intriguing comes from Insight Venture Capital & the National Venture Capital Association

- 45% of VC backed companies fail
- Of the 55% of VC backed companies that don't fail 12% become significant companies.


My Small yet meaningful successes happen often... Huge successes are possible, but rare.
