Re:There’s no such thing as “a startup within a big company” by staysaasy on Thursday February 18, 2021 @03:56PM (#26185395)
I was curious on this and did some googling.

One thing that I found per a paper from 2008 (https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/performance-persistence-in-entrep...):

"All else equal, a venture-capital-backed entrepreneur who starts a company that goes public has a 30 percent chance of succeeding in his or her next venture. First-time entrepreneurs, on the other hand, have only an 18 percent chance of succeeding, and entrepreneurs who previously failed have a 20 percent chance of succeeding."

I remember reading something that had a collection of anecdata indicating that b2b success seemed to be repeatable but b2c did not.

Would love to see what other research data is out there.
