PALM BEACH, FL, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The automobile industry is currently dominated by fossil fuel consumption but is increasingly moving toward becoming an alternate source of energy, such as lithium-ion-backed battery technology. The increasing demand for EVs and the shift toward clean energy will drive the product demand in the coming years. A report from Fortune Business Insights projected that the Global Lithium market size is expected to grow to $516.22 million in 2028, growing at a CAGR of 6% during forecast period from 2021-2028.  The report said: "Electric vehicle companies and carmakers are changing their preferences depending on the cathode characteristics regarding safety, stability, life, cost, and energy density. EVs are promoted as a sustainable transportation choice on a life-cycle basis, as they emit less GHG than conventional vehicles. For instance, Tesla is planning for next-generation EV batteries that would focus on introducing Li-iron phosphate batteries to the market. This will cut the vehicle costs, extend the vehicle range up to 400 miles or more, and enable the batteries to last as long as 1 million miles. Additionally, the company plans to implement a high-speed, heavily automated battery manufacturing process designed to increase mass production and reduce labor costs."  Active mining companies in markets include:  Usha Resources Ltd. (OTCQB: USHAF) (TSX-V: USHA), Lithium Americas Corp. (NYSE: LAC) (TSX: LAC), Piedmont Lithium Inc. (NASDAQ: PLL), Standard Lithium Ltd. (NYSE American: SLI) (TSX-V: SLI), American Lithium Corp. (NASDAQ: AMLI) (TSX-V: LI).

Key Points: 
  • The increasing demand for EVs and the shift toward clean energy will drive the product demand in the coming years.
  • The market in North America is likely to rise considerably during the lithium market forecast period.
  • The increasing adoption of cleaner energy sources due to stringent regulatory rules is surging regional growth.
  • The increasing adoption of solar panels has created a substantial demand for cells and batteries to store energy."

But these traits aren’t just interesting side notes to these founders’ stories: confidence and calmness, along with other qualities such as a love of adventure, can have a big impact on startup success.

Key Points: 
  • But these traits aren’t just interesting side notes to these founders’ stories: confidence and calmness, along with other qualities such as a love of adventure, can have a big impact on startup success.
  • And common investor wisdom attributes this to either supply side (novel products) or demand side (market interest or “hot sectors”) factors.
  • While our new research shows all these elements are important, it reveals that the personalities of founders are actually the most influential factor in startup success.

AI uncovers the x-factor: founder personality

    • Using AI algorithms, we applied the “five-factor” model – a psychology theory that divides personality into five main groups – to analyse startup founders worldwide.
    • After comparing data on thousands of successful founders to information about employees, we discovered that entrepreneurs exhibit very different combinations of personality traits to everyone else.
    • Based on our findings, we have identified six distinct founder personality types: leader, accomplisher, operator, developer, fighter and engineer.
    • Each type has its own combination of subtle personality traits, for example, operators value orderliness and fighters are emotionally sensitive.
    • Founder personality traits Many of these personality types are thriving in the real-life startup world.

The power of diversity

    • Canva’s three co-founders are a great example of this.
    • And these findings are likely to hold in other settings too: team performance is shaped by the right combination of different personalities.
