This is a good analogy in one sense, but I think the probabilities in your example are reversed from the startup case: for high-risk startups, only a few survive, but they&#x27;re the winners.<p>And of course, that&#x27;s what makes them better on average for investors (who spread risk across their portfolio) than for founders, who have all their eggs in one basket.<p>As pg says here, as a founder, you want to survive.
