If I were investing in 10 business startups (of any size) I suspect 1-2 might do really, really well (5-25X ROI), 6-8 might do okay (1-2X ROI), and 1-2 would blow up (zero X ROI)(fail).

If each business unit is in the $250-500 startup range for supplies/materials/operations/staffing for 3-5 people over 30-90 days with a decent chance of breakeven (or cash positive) sustainability...that'd be very nice indeed.

Me?  Personally I'd rather error on the side of things happening quickly...with quick feedback loops and room for improvement...than Q/A going on too long.
