Is that news? What is the usual survival rate of startups?

• jacquesm 4y ago
  Companies that IPO are no longer in the startup phase.

    That's fair. Still I wonder what is the survival rate after IPO.
    • jacquesm 4y ago
      That all depends on the timescale you are looking at. And there are plenty of companies that are taken off the stock exchange again at some point ('going private').

  Yes this is a disaster for the public market. It should be illegal to bring a company public without proven positive unit economics. Self driving, deep tech… all should stay within big corp R&D

    Why? Public companies are not funded by taxpayer money, if you buy shares of a company that just IPO'd you should know what you are getting.
