Your idea of long running is 10 years????  these figures are neither surprising nor do they prove your point. start-ups are easy to start and a great way to test markets for ideas and have an inherent high failure rate, show some comparisons of companies post 10 years in business and I will happily conceed the point, that link is nothing more than marketing garbage.

Fine, if you think 10 years is short, I can't help you. You asked for numbers, you got numbers.

I asked for numbers that prove your point, you did not provide. E.g. how many of companies over 200 years old are cooperatives? how many over 100 years are? I am sure there would be some would actually be interesting to know the answer. Hell when talking companies anything less than 25 years old is generally classed as relatively new, 10 years is EXTREMELY short when talking lifetimes of companies.
