Evaluate the opportunities and risks of your startup team.

Between years two and five after founding, 70 percent of startups disappear from the market. In addition to a lack of financial resources and markets that are too small, internal team conflicts are responsible for failure in around 18 percent of cases.

Using a detailed personality profile helps minimize this risk and unlock the full potential of the founding team.

The personality of a founding team is a decisive factor for the long-term success of a startup. Especially in the early stages, it is often the only truly secure capital within the company. Motivation and resilience can be assessed more accurately through personality profiles, helping investors evaluate risks in high-pressure situations. Leadership style and team capability are key factors, as a harmonious team accelerates strategy execution and reduces conflicts that unnecessarily consume energy and resources. Persistence and curiosity indicate how well founders can respond to market changes and lead the company through demanding challenges. Risk appetite and decisiveness provide insight into whether founders seize opportunities without acting recklessly. Assessing the ability to solve complex challenges (understanding, evaluating, and shaping solutions) offers important indications of how successfully the startup will perform in critical situations.

For investors, this results in greater planning certainty, as team stability can be predicted more reliably. Personality profiles also enable the early identification of weaknesses, allowing investors to provide targeted coaching or mentoring. This increases the likelihood of investment success and reduces the risk of poor decisions. Ultimately, such analyses create transparency and trust, forming the foundation for a long-term and successful partnership.
