After some googleing, I found that at least 50% of small business fail in the first year and 95% in the first five years. Businesses with less than 20 employees have a 37% chance of surviving four years.

I'm guessing the failure rate for publicly funded businesses is not so different than the failure rate for privately funded businesses.
