Interesting. I wonder how this compares with Google's Summer of Code program completion statistics (at least back when it started). If you wind up with several companies that are judged as likely to be successful, what will you do? You can't reasonably split multiple companies 50/50 with others, because you won't be able to give adequate time. Getting a business off the ground is just the very first step. You're practically dooming businesses to failure if you can't fully commit to them because you are splitting time between multiple companies. On the other hand, it wouldn't be fair to bet on one of the companies and then reject working on others, even if they might be viable businesses.
