Above is a from a study by Tom Eisenman from HBS, he adds an important note "While some of the attributes of founders listed above had a statistically significant relationship with valuation outcomes in bivariate analysis, none of them were statistically significant predictors in
multivariate regression. Put another way, it seems that a wide range of different founder types can succeed. And..
while choosing a talented “jockey” may be important for venture success, it isn’t easy to pick the right leader based only on readily observable characteristics like age or personality type." See Thread above.
