Startup Success Rates

The early-stage failure rate of startups is quite high.

Out of 100 startups, only 40% go to the next level at Series A.

Only 22% of startups reach Series B.

Only 15% of startups reach Series C.

Only 8% of startups reach Series D.

As for the success rate, only 9% of pre-seed companies reach an acquisition.

Only 12% of Series A companies reach an acquisition.

Only 14% of Series B companies reach an acquisition.

The most any startup can reach an acquisition is 16%.

The failure rate is near exponential.

It’s a hit business. You have a hit or you most likely will lose your investment.
