In this brief presentation, Ryan Micheletti, Director of Global Operations for the Founder Institute, shares insights from the Institute's Entrepreneur DNA assessment, which surveyed 50,000 individuals worldwide. The analysis reveals that two key traits—high openness to new ideas and high fluid intelligence—strongly predict entrepreneurial success. Micheletti explains that these traits enable rapid learning, swift iteration, and agile adaptation to market feedback, allowing entrepreneurs to efficiently incorporate mentor advice and adjust their business direction. He concludes by inviting viewers to join the Silicon Valley Summer 2019 program, beginning June 19th, to further develop these capabilities.

Hi everyone, my name is Ryan Micheletti and I'm Director of Global Operations for the Founder Institute. I also run the local Silicon Valley program. Today I want to quickly talk to you about what it means to be a great entrepreneur. So it turns out 50,000 people around the world have taken our Entrepreneur DNA assessment, and when we backtest the data, if you're very open and if you have high fluid intelligence, then those are two traits that make for great entrepreneurs. And here's why: if you're very smart and you learn quickly and you're also open to new ideas, it helps you iterate fast. So as you're absorbing new ideas and taking in feedback from different mentors and then you can quickly execute on it, it allows you to be agile and adapt more quickly to the market needs and to the direction that you need to head with your company. Join us for the Silicon Valley Summer 2019 program starting June 19th.
