A field of study that has always been really interesting to me is being able to predict which start-ups are going to succeed — because it feels like it's at least only one level of indirection from being able to predict which humans are going to succeed. The idea here is that at least SOME of the features of predicting start-up success is going to come down to founder traits. So it feels like it's close to removing the start-up and just asking a more general question of "which human is going to succeed". Having been busy with OpenForage and interacting with VCs again, my curiosity and interest in determining whether or not there are any good studies on what are the most important features when it comes to predicting start-up success has been reignited.
