"Many entrepreneurs lack the expertise or the right set of talents to succeed, which might explain in part why half of the new ventures in the U.S. fail in the first five years. However, startups are essential to economic growth, so supporting prospective entrepreneurs -- the 25% of Americans who've thought about but decided against building a business -- could help them convert their interest into action.
