Super Founders uses a data-driven approach to understand what really differentiates billion-dollar startups from the rest--revealing that nearly everything we thought was true about them is false. Ali Tamaseb has spent thousands of hours manually amassing what may be the largest dataset ever collected on startups, comparing billion-dollar startups with those that failed to become one--30,000 data points on nearly every factor: number of competitors, market size, the founder's age, his or her university's ranking, quality of investors, fundraising time, and many, many more.
