Very cool infographic! I didn’t realize that the percentage of small business that fail was so high. 80%…wow.
I have a feeling the entrepreneurs start multiple businesses in their lives. One of them has to work.
First of all, I love infographics – so you hooked me in right away.
Second, unlike Pam, I had heard how many start-ups fail in the first few years – I actually heard it from a neighbor who started his own IT business a few years ago, only to see it fail in (you guessed it) under three years.
The median investment is way higher than I would have expected – more than a quarter-million? I would have thought closer to $50k.
Me too. I am a sucker for infographics.
Wow – thanks for introducing me to an investment avenue I never knew about – Angel Investors. And I agree with everyone else – I love infographics!
