The impact of founder personalities on startup success, how a predictive model outperforms industry standards to predict company success, and what factors can help us predict which startups will succeed. In the eighth episode of the OII Podcast, our experts discuss topics such as:
* How founder personalities and early company characteristics significantly predict startup success
* How traits of successful founders differ from traditional employees
* Research implications for the broader startup ecosystem, including venture capital investors, potential buyers, and startup incubators
Dr Fabian Braesemann is a Departmental Research Lecturer in AI & Work at the OII. His research focuses on the Science of Success. He uses data science methods to quantify the determinants of success in different fields of work.
Professor Paul X McCarthy is a CEO, computational social science research leader and author. He founded the League of Scholars, and is also Adjunct Professor at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, as well as an Industry Fellow at The UTS Data Science Institute and an Honorary Fellow at Western Sydney University.
Veena McCoole is Media and Communications Manager for the Oxford Internet Institute.
The OII Podcast looks at issues and developments in the digital world that matter to us all, and explores them through thought-provoking conversations with experts and practitioners.

Why social media is the new frontier for misinformation, and what we can do about it: Professor Mohsen Mosleh and Cameron Martel
The link between misinformation and polarisation on social media, what's being done to combat misinformation and disinformation, the role of social media platforms and regulators, and where the research gaps are. In the sixth episode of the OII Podcast, our experts discuss topics such as:
* The real world impacts that arise when people increasingly identify with their political tribes online
* What role governments are playing in combating misinformation, and what more should be done to tackle this problem at a policy level
* What the future holds for misinformation on social media, in the wake of generative AI, deepfakes and ever-evolving algorithms
Professor Mohsen Mosleh is Associate Professor of Social Data Science at the Oxford Internet Institute. His research focuses on how misinformation and disinformation spread on social media, and how ties are formed on social networks.
Cameron Martel is a PhD candidate at MIT Sloan School of Management and an incoming assistant professor at John Hopkins Carey Business School, focusing on why people believe and share misinformation, what forces shape the online social networks through which misinformation may spread, and which content moderation interventions are effective for improving online information quality.
