"Today is a great time to start a business," Dell wrote in e-mail during a visit this week to Washington. Compared to when he started, he added, "infrastructure for building a business today is much more mature. Entrepreneurs have better access to start-up capital and growth funding through banks, individual investors and [venture capitalists]. And the powerful technology that is accessible for entrepreneurs today, like cloud, big data and mobility, is much better."

However, that doesn’t mean entrepreneurs couldn’t use some more support. Despite today’s advantages, he noted that most new companies still fail within the first year. In large part, he added, it’s up to – and would behoove – both corporate leaders and government officials to look for ways to "to help improve that rate of success."
