Entrepreneurial success needs more than an idea and money. It requires a passionate team with shared values and a growth mindset.
... [+]Eva de Mol is a venture capitalist whose expertise is helping scaling companies build cohesive teams. She also has a joint Ph.D. in economics from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the University of California, Berkeley Haas Business School. Her academic research focused on the relationship between a team's composition and venture success. She uses team assessment methods to evaluate teams in a structured way.
One reason de Mol recruited Niessen as a speaker for an event de Mol was organizing was so she could meet Niessen. After the event,"we started doing things together," de Mol explained. They discovered they had a shared vision around an investment philosophy for a venture capital firm and that their values were aligned.Within a year and a half, they started talking about forming a venture capital firm together.
Cardon and a group of researchers define entrepreneurial passion as an overwhelming love for what they are doing, which is a deep part of their identity. This passion enables entrepreneurs to persist in spite of setbacks. Passion is divided into three categories:Developing: taking something nascent and growing it into something huge.
To differentiate themselves from other VCs, de Mol and Niessen are building an online platform that evaluates not just a company's traditional financial indicators and market metrics such as size, product potential, and traction, but also its human capital going beyond hard skills, knowledge, and experience to evaluate soft skills such as entrepreneurial passion, shared vision and values, and mindset.
