We don’t have empirical evidence for why some startups succeed while others fail. However, studies suggest several common denominators that separate successful companies from the ones that fail. 

For example, finding product-market fit, which in simple terms means there are customers for the product you are selling. On the other hand, co-founder disputes are among the common causes of startup death.
