Most that die, die in less than a year. We don't have enough data yet to say what happens to the ones that don't.



Seems like the data is insufficient to talk about them dying, too: You've been going for 1.85 years, so even if the survival rate weren't particularly higher for year-old startups, the ones that have died so far would still be mostly younger than a year.


How about those that get sold? Is it fair to expect that, on average, it happens within a year as well?
