Incorrect. In fact YC’s (i.e. the website you’re on) whole thesis is that it’s a lot easier to found a business successfully than most people imagine. Yeah, they’ve drifted from their roots a little but I think it’s been proved out.

The irony is killing me.

It’s incredibly easy to found/start a business.

It’s incredibly hard to build that beginning into a profitable money machine.

80% of businesses fail within 5 years.

Well, less than 1% of lifeforms are born as humans but that doesn’t seem to scare people into not having babies.

How many have you founded? Important data point for such an opinion.
