About
The Minerva Code reflects our belief that great companies are built not only on capital, ideas or business models, but on the distinct strengths of their founders.
Through a survey of nearly 200 founders, we identified six core traits that we believe matter most: Agency, Relentlessness, Stability, Clarity, Independence and Charisma. These traits are not fixed – they can be developed.
The Minerva Code is our way of helping you understand your profile. The free-to-use test allows founders, both current and aspiring, to score themselves across the six key traits and more. Using AI trained on our insights, you will then receive tailored guidance to help sharpen your strengths and grow as start-up leaders.
