The ones that got to the point of applying for the first funding are the survivors in the survivorship bias.

Given that these applications could occur before a company was even legally founded, I doubt much 'survival' before that point was necessary.

Really? You don't think prospective businessmen think "I'd like to do this, but those regulations make it stupid to even try?"

You can add at least 1 prospective company to that number. Mine.

I wanted to do something, but the costs of compliance were so high it would be stupid of me to even try.
