How to Evaluate Founder Potential when Investing in Startups
By Founder Institute
Online event
Description
Few investors go beyond interviews when evaluating a founder's potential, even though founders are the greatest variable in the success or failure of a startup. To quantify founder potential in a data-driven way, the Founder Institute utilizes a proprietary social science assessment designed to identify the entrepreneurial strengths and weaknesses of founders, and then tracks the momentum of their startups through both quantitative and qualitative measurement over time. Join Jonathan Greechan (Co-Founder & CEO of FI, GP at Founder Capital) as he share details on this unique approach, along with key learnings on identifying top founders.
