We have provided you with an entrepreneur DNA assessment that can predict a founder's potential to develop a successful startup, regardless of the idea they are developing and their demographic location.

The Entrepreneur DNA Assessment was created under the auspices of the Founder Institute in collaboration with leading scientists in the field of social sciences, with the desire to develop an objective tool to more easily manage the thousands of applications to participate in their program.

Now this useful tool is available to you, free of charge within the OTP Connect program!

This assessment analyzes 25 dimensions important for entrepreneurship. We highlight only some of the aspects:

  • Collaboration - can you work effectively in a team?
  • Problem Solving - Can you learn quickly and apply what you learn to solve complex problems?
  • Proactivity - Do you take initiative even when the odds are not clearly and completely on your side?
  • Perseverance - are you firmly focused and motivated to succeed?

The assessment only takes about 30 minutes, and the report you receive will show your personality traits that can help you be successful as an entrepreneur, you'll also learn the traits that can be a hindrance to your startup's development, meaning you can work on them and turn them around in your favor.

Many traits correlate with entrepreneurship. For example, the data from DNA tests of entrepreneurs done so far show that people over 34 years of age with domain expertise and experience in management have a greater chance of success. It is also important if you quickly learn (new) rules and can apply them to solve new problems. The ability to adapt is one of the traits important for success. Are you constantly looking for new experiences and knowledge? Does your curiosity challenge existing norms? The best entrepreneurs seek change - not maintenance of the status quo. Flexibility is another important characteristic, the ability to keep your emotions in balance, to be warm and considerate at the same time, but also direct and sharp when needed.

Some of the characteristics that have proven to be undesirable are predatory aggressiveness, constant excuses, instability, excessive egotism.

Prepare to be surprised: one of the characteristics that turned out to be irrelevant and were excluded from the test is IQ! Another surprise is that diligence is not among the traits directly correlated with startup success. That doesn't mean it won't take a lot of work to be successful, but you already know that, right?
