I recently chatted with a passionate startup entrepreneur about startups. We discussed the possibility of altering the success rate of startups. I mentioned my experience with 26+ startups - —about 60-65% got their first funding and did well! Then we checked Google and ChatGPT. Turns out, about 90% of startups fail. But it's not fixed. Things like industry, funding, and where you are matter. Now, here's the twist: What if 2-3K of us worked together? Could we change the game? Imagine if 70% of startups succeeded and only 30% failed. Could we do that? What do you think? Can a bunch of us change the story of startup success? Share your thoughts! #StartupSuccess #EntrepreneurMindset #CollaborativeEfforts #InnovationNation #ReshapingTheGame #ThinkingOutsideTheBox #TogetherWeCanChangeTheStory
