Fact: 90% of US startups Fail!
So, what is the major driver to Startup Failure?

Lastly, I am Co-Founder and CEO of Worldwide Water Independence (WWI), a startup that offers technology that purifies any ground or surface water at half the cost/gal of the next lowest cost water purification option in the world.
