Wait, this means AI startups actually will fare better than other startups then? Seems like the inverse of what the title is trying to convey which is pretty funny if true.

I'd say the 5% could be the startups that fail later (after three years).

Or like 86% of statistics, they are pulled from the are and only "roughly" correct.
