The present longitudinal study aims to investigate the impact of founder personality qualities on the success of startup ventures. A sample of 100 startup enterprises operating in various Arabic countries was observed and monitored for a duration of 5 years. During this period, comprehensive data was gathered pertaining to the personality qualities of the founders as well as the metrics of success achieved by these startups. The findings suggest that specific personality qualities, namely conscientiousness and emotional stability, have a favorable correlation with the achievement of startup ventures. Conversely, neuroticism is found to have an adverse effect on business success. The research study additionally discovered moderating factors, including industry type and funding sources, that exert an influence on the association between founder personality qualities and the level of success achieved by startups. The consequences of the findings extend to both theoretical and practical domains, as they indicate that the success of a company is significantly influenced by the personality qualities of its founder. Consequently, these traits should be considered when making decisions related to recruitment or securing financial support.
