Historically, what percent of startups at series A, B, etc end up going out of business? A material percentage I think?<p>These companies, are they going through a modern &quot;failure&quot; where it turns out loom or whatever is not a viable business, but instead of just imploding, they die slowly because VCs don&#x27;t want to write down their investments, so they make them stay on life support?
