The most likely startup to succeed are those which are in the technology space and which can attract sizable investment. Investors tend to back those startups which are ‘disruptors’, entering into established territories occupied by big firms. Digital Journal recently presented an overview of the behavioral economics of investors in relation to startups (see: “Motivational factors for investors in startups revealed“).
The sheer number of startups launched globally is staggering, with 100 million businesses are launched annually, according to City A.M. However, 99 per cent of tech start-ups that launched in a given month will fold within a year because their products are clever but “utterly pointless” according to Mat Shore, the founder of global training and innovation firm, Outside In (as reported by BM Magazine).
