The survivorship bias [1] is rampant, especially in the tech/startup world. Huge media brands like TechCrunch talking about the "winner takes all" companies (Google, Netflix, etc.) Everyone loves to talk about the big winners and associate with them. I guess it's human nature. I'm really glad there are sites like Failory [2] that talk about founder failures (I've seen them on HN front page several times). I'm also trying to do the same with my research project on acquisition channels [3]. I often found I can learn WAY more from people who failed at something and their advice on "things to be aware of" vs. people who succeeded. Many people who failed usually tried 10 different things and know the aspects of what worked/didn't vs. people who succeeded and tried 2-3 things and got lucky in 1.
