Closure and Birth Rates for Disadvantaged Startups

The waste lands result in a higher death rate among startups and a less favorable position for crowdsourcing financial support. This hypothesis is well supported by 100's of statistics and publications since the 1980's. (see chart for crowdsourcing on previous page and the figure below)

Traditionally, funding institutions have thrown money to "researcher" academics and "practitioner" organizations in hope of accelerating the startup birth rate. However, for at least three decades, we continue to not be able to accelerate the birth (or rate) of successful business startup amidst the disadvantaged. For instance, a current and popular approach to reduce closure rates and increase birth rates is combining curriculums, education, and workforce employment into partnerships and apprenticeships. Of course, this is a new spin with new wording on an old model of financer-researcher-practitioner-supplier. Similarly, the problem with business startup throughput continues with startup birth and death rates being roughly unchanged since the 1990s among minorities and the disadvantaged as well as lacking efficient business support.
