What makes entrepreneurs different, and where do they come from? Are they born or taught? Are they unusually mobile in their careers? Does geography play a role? Do mentors and relationships matter?

By sifting through more than 120 million public profiles, we can analyze tens of thousands startup founder  profiles – and find common threads linking their careers.
