It would be hard to really quantify. You have everything from worked nights and weekends for a year and nothing ever came of it to acquihires with a nice but modest payout to breakeven acquisitions to IPOs or other big exits. I'm sure if you include friends & family money (or personal money) and sweat equity the failure rate goes way up.
