80% of the startups will fail to succeed in a lucrative manner, No IPO or acquisition.
Failure Rates
VC funded : 75%
Series B+ : Startups 80%
Unicorns(Billion$ valuation): > 90%
The ones which do IPO,
C3.ai
Robinhood
Uber*
Lyft*
Coupang
Compass
Poshmark
Blend labs
Lemonade
There are success stories like Roblox, Airbnb etc I feel around 75% IPOs have failed in the recent times, that leaves us with a 5% chance of making big $$ by joining a unicorn. I feel the millionaire success stories on blind have overshadowed the failures and the uncertainties surrounding these companies
Learning aside, Isn’t the risk to reward ratio too high for pre ipo companies ?

Is It True That 90% of Startups Fail?

If you want to be safe join a Series C/D or even later stage company and ride until IPO.
If we look at series B+ funded by big name VC pre IPOs maybe it's better odds
