But Hu and Ma also found that investors prioritized this positivity over all other factors in the pitch, to their detriment. A higher score on the verbal-ability dimension was actually negatively correlated with selection. Hu and Ma then tracked down the companies to see what happened to them.
Looking at survival rates, jobs created, and the results of later funding rounds as a way to determine the success of the companies in their sample, they discovered that more-positive entrepreneurs, indicated by happier facial expressions and vocal emotions, built companies that raised less follow-on funding and hired fewer employees than the average of the cohort, while those who exhibited higher verbal ability were likely to employ more people at their ventures—even though they were less likely to have obtained funding.
This suggests that entrepreneurs who use the kind of technical, content-rich language the algorithm picked up on are less likely to appear friendly and happy, and therefore to appeal to funders, even though their language correlates with more competent teams that build better businesses. The study also suggests that first impressions disproportionately affect investor decisions. When Hu and Ma limited their analysis to the first five seconds of the pitch, an amount of time during which little of substance about the business could be communicated, the results were similar—the more positive the beginning of the pitch, the more likely the company was to be selected.
The young man was an exceptionally talented and experienced engineer and presented a relevant technology concept in a patient, thorough, and thoughtful manner. It could not have been more boring. I have worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs, always encouraging them to show their passion for their companies and to smile and engage with their potential investors.
Now there is scientific evidence to back me up. In your presentation, immediately smile and express your enthusiasm for this opportunity, and work the backgrounds of your team members into the story early.
There are mixed messages for female entrepreneurs, however. When Hu and Ma looked at the gender composition of the teams in their study, they found that investor sensitivity to positivity affected female-only teams more intensely than male-only teams. However, when the researchers analyzed the vocal signals, if a woman was pitching with a male colleague, the impact of her passion, enthusiasm, and energy switched and became negatively correlated with investment chances.
Apparently, and sadly still, in , investors prefer that women not upstage or dominate their male cofounders. Angel investors and venture capitalists should change their processes to gather information before meeting entrepreneurs.
If investors are so quick to judge on a smile, and if this leads them to invest in underperforming companies, they should avoid face-to-face meetings until after they have done a little research. Request a one-page overview that focuses heavily on team background and company traction, and consciously overweight these criteria.
