Oklahoma’s startup activity makes it very conducive to starting a business there, the study said. “Oklahoma has a higher rate of new entrepreneurs compared to the national average, with 0.39 percent of the population starting a new business. On top of that, Oklahoma has the third-best survival rate for startups, with 81.51 percent of new companies surviving through their first year.
“Although venture capital flowed to only 12 companies in Oklahoma in 2018, the amounts per company are equal to about $4.39 million. This is more, for example, than the venture capital dealt out to 88 companies in Indiana, which came out to $4.18 million per company,” the researchers wrote.
