Given the mention of Webvan and the sheer number of startups in their study, it would seem their sample group does include a significant cohort from the Bubble. Trying to derive generalized rules governing startup outcomes is tough when those rules inherently keep changing.
- dirtyaura 15y agoWebvan is the first example of failed startup in Steve Blank's Four Steps to Epiphany. I think Startup Genome project was heavily influenced by Blank's book, so it might just that, a familiar example, not a data point.
