Among other results, they found that solo founders were 55 percent less likely to dissolve their businesses than teams of three, and that for-profit ventures founded by lone entrepreneurs were about 2.5 times more likely to survive than team-founded ones.

Interestingly this study shows the opposite. “In their recent working paper ‘Sole Survivors: Solo Ventures Versus Founding Teams,’ Greenberg and Mollick show that ‘companies started by solo founders survive longer than those started by teams.’”
Or even market survey from a third party into this?
