Failing gracefully

We got an email the other day from Allisson Morris regarding this graphic on onlinemba.com that illustrates statistics on successful startups and highlights a few major companies that began as a startup. Interesting stuff. Thanks Allisson!

“Like many who pursue their MBA, you’ve probably already spent some time considering the possibility of one day starting your own business. For most would-be entrepreneurs, the thought of trying to start a business presents a wide array of challenges, and in the tricky business of starting your own company, the idea of “failure” is usually the most daunting opponent. In today’s tech saturated economy, the start-up culture has grown consistently more prevalent, with entrepreneurs and dreamers packing up and heading in droves to pursue the dream of tech stardom.”
