    You said anyone could start a successful company with nothing and used google and apple as examples, using their onetime occupancy of garages to imply that they’re examples of companies starting from nothing.

    They’re not examples of people starting with nothing and the presence of garages doesn’t change that fact.

    Why not use some different examples to prove your point?

            I don’t think it would be doxing to just say the startup examples you are thinking of. Certainly they’re not so small and insignificant that a person could easily narrow down your identity simply by the businesses you’re familiar with…

            BLS says 25% of new businesses fail in the first year and only half make it to five. Zippia says only 40% of startups turn a profit and 90% fail.

            Those are the first two results I saw.
