"I'm more curious how many people have all these qualities, start a company, and then fail."

I think this is a poor metric. Individual projects fail all the time for no reason. What's more telling is the chance that you'll succeed big somewhere at some point. Part of being smart is trying lots of random stuff and failing or getting bored and doing something else.
