More than 90% of startups fail, due primarily to self-destruction rather than competition. For the less than 10% of startups that do succeed, most encounter several near death experiences along the way. Simply put, while we now have some good theory, we just are not very good at creating startups yet. After 50 years of technology entrepreneurship it’s still an art. Three months ago I wrote about my ex-student Max Marmer and the Startup Genome Project. They’ve been attempting to quantify the art. They believe that they can crack the code of innovation and turn entrepreneurship into a science if they had hard data rather than speculation of why startups succeed or fail.
Now 90 days later Max and his team have gathered data on 3200 startups and they believe they’ve discovered the most common reason startups fail. Today you’re invited to benchmark your own internet startup and see how you compare to the winners. Happy birthday Max.
