QUT did a study (the CAUSEE study) that looked at the predictive factors for startups to succeed.
One of the best predictors for failure for Australian startups was if they had accessed a government service to help startups succeed. Of course, that might be selection bias.
The only exception to this (and actually was a predictor of success) was accessing the R&D tax concession.
- marcus_holmes 7y agoyeah, the R&D tax concession is totally awesome. Except, it's now getting slowly screwed up by large corporates claiming everything they possibly can on it, so the rules are getting altered and tightened up. Add in a few greased palms (sorry, "campaign contributions") and it'll be ruined, as usual.
