This applies to a narrow definition of a start-up. How do you account for businesses that require high-level or academic expertise of the product? Or a sound understanding of the market? Your chances of success are much higher with any endeavor, when you eliminate risks of failure. I found this article rather enlightening :http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0269094215589143 http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0269094215589143 It speaks about entrepreneurship education which is a form of mentor ship and training.

Don't believe the hype that these companies are successful because some 20 something is brilliant.
