- Abstract: An impressive number of new startups are launched every day as a result of
growing new markets, accessible technologies, and venture capital. New ventures
such as Facebook, Supercell, Linkedin, Spotify, {WhatsApp}, and Dropbox, to
name a few, are good examples of startups that evolved into successful
businesses. However, despite many successful stories, the great majority of
them fail prematurely. Operating in a chaotic and rapidly evolving domain
conveys new uncharted challenges for startuppers. In this study, the authors
characterize their context and identify common software development startup
practices.

- A Fused Large Language Model for Predicting Startup Success [21.75303916815358]
We develop a machine learning approach with the aim of locating successful startups on venture capital platforms.
Specifically, we develop, train, and evaluate a tailored, fused large language model to predict startup success.
Using 20,172 online profiles from Crunchbase, we find that our fused large language model can predict startup success.
