What drives billionaires – DNA of the technology magnates: many have one thing in common

Date:

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, tech magnate Elon Musk or Microsoft founder Bill Gates: Many people have the image of the pale male computer nerd in mind when they think of ‘Big Tech’ billionaires. A study from the US shows that this idea is not true. Based on the resumes and character traits of more than 2,000 founders of billion-dollar startups, it details what drives them, where they come from, what they want – and what unites many of them.

Of course, there is no ONE founder of Silicon Valley: the many technological wonders invented by innovative start-ups are driven by a wide variety of characters: sometimes choleric, as Tesla boss Elon Musk would be, sometimes perfectionist. But when you zoom out further, to the statistical level, patterns emerge. For example, a striking number of founders of billion-dollar startups were “underdogs” before they became so wealthy. Or that half of them only attended ten different universities. Krone+ outlines the DNA of Silicon Valley billionaires.
