Consider another point of view then: how many people struck it big on their second, third, fourth startup?

Off the top of my head Uber was Travis' third startup. Does that make him a quitter or a perseverer?

At my age I known plenty of tech entrepreneurs who've been at it for 10 years with no big hits. Statistically some of them will eventually make it. I doubt I'll be able to say sincerely they were the ones with more grit. But I'm sure they themselves will say it for me :)
