> More than 25% of respondents have been running their business for 5-10 years, which is longer expected given the relative newness of SaaS, and the high chance a startup fails in its first one or two years.

Could this be survivor-ship bias. If you failed your SaaS venture in less than a year, you are less likely to be part of this survey.
