SHOCKER ! -- Survival rates of American restaurants & biotech companies exactly the same !

--

How do you make a Million Dollars in the restaurant business ?

-->> Start with 2 million !!


What are the 2 best days in your life if you own a restaurant ?

-->> The day you open it, and the day you sell it !


Or close it, and stop losing money.


According to several reliable statistical studies that you can find yourself by Googling, about 25 % of new restaurants in America fail in the first year, and about 60 % (cumulatively) fail in the first 3 years. Why ?

Because anyone who thinks they can burn meat well or turn tofu pink can open a restaurant ! -- just as any scientist who can do PCR blindfolded or run a one-button auto-dock program from Accelrys thinks they are a biotech entrepreneur extraordinaire !

No barriers to entry ! -- that is the common problem with both the American restaurant and biotech industries.  And, sadly, this is a global bio-food-poisoning epidemic.

So the next time a biotech entrepreneur tells you to drink his/her Kool-Aid, ask them if they have ever successfully started & managed a restaurant for 4 years or more.

Be careful out there !
