Elon Musk is an 'engineer' but Bill Gates is a 'leader' – new research shows founder personality can dictate startup success

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.
