Dissertação Does Gender and Nationality Diversity Imply in Innovation Performance?(2024) Daher, Hugo DirceuThis study explores the impact of gender and nationality diversity within startup founding teams on various performance metrics, shedding light on the complex dynamics between diversity and entrepreneurial success. Utilizing a dataset of 13,355 companies and 27,277 founders, the research employs linear and logistic regression models to investigate how diversity influences operational status, strategic exits, total funding amount received, and the number of funding rounds. The findings reveal a nuanced relationship between diversity and startup performance, highlighting both benefits and challenges. Gender diversity showed a non-significant effect on operational status but decreased the probability of strategic exits by 33%. Additionally, companies with women founders received $1.48 million less in funding compared to all-male teams. Nationality diversity, on the other hand, increased the probability of a company being active by 65% and was associated with more funding rounds, though not a higher total funding amount. These results underscore the need for a balanced approach in the startup ecosystem, recognizing both the potential drawbacks and advantages of diverse founding teams. The study's implications are significant for academics, venture capitalists, founders, and policymakers. For academics, it highlights the importance of further empirical research to understand the diverse impact on entrepreneurial outcomes better. Venture capitalists and founders are encouraged to address biases and promote inclusivity to harness the benefits of diverse teams. Policymakers should consider strategies to support diverse startups, recognizing the potential of diversity to drive innovation and economic growth. Overall, this study emphasizes that while diversity poses certain challenges, it also holds substantial potential to enhance performance and foster a more inclusive entrepreneurial environment.
