Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

Then you’re being purposefully obtuse. Any sourced capital expects a return, unless its charity. Any business that takes money should expect to yield a result. A business is either on its way to do so or no longer has a path to return capital. If it doesn’t have a path, because it lacks sufficient growth, revenue or IP/Asset value, then its a zombie. Maybe founder and employees can live off it, but that would not qualify as success in Venture/Startup land. Otherwise its a small business or a lifestyle business.

Survivorship bias. Do you think SBA numbers include the startups that failed in the first month? The ones that never got any revenue? Or the ones that invested but never made it to market? There’s a certain threshold you have to cross before you are figured into those numbers.

>Not knowing how much time I had to sit and wonder in the restaurant until someone noticed me is not a problem to you? If you have data that shows the cost of this problem, show that to your potential customers. So, what's the cost? It's really simple: If you can either save me money, make me extra revenue/profit, or increase my customer/employee satisfaction, you have my attention. If you don't, you better get used to hearing "we don't need it".

A startup is by definition venture backed. If you don’t take venture money you can define your own success. But then you’re not a startup. You’re a small business. No shame in that. That’s what I started. A tech enabled services business. I’m the sole owner and took no funding and will have 800k revenue year one. Edit to add this link to additional sources of startup success rates:

The assumption is that because you aren’t in a certain boat you run a zombie company… that’s because people forget that start-ups are intended to run experiments and VC and startup culture focused on revenue to determine where a company is on the customer development roadmap… which is obsolete today because it assumes search is expensive… Zombie companies are built by the culture… and a result of a founder that only had one idea… but great founders understand it’s not a get rich quick situation and you must run a shit ton of experiments to see what lands and with AI today the cost of doing that is much lower…
