This study was designed to reveal whether certain developable personality constructs of individual technology start-up founders are linked to the frequency with which they make high-stakes business decisions. One of the riskiest decision types faced by a start-up is a "pivot"-the large-scale abandonment of one business model or approach for another-and studies indicate that the frequency with which start-ups pivot can be linked to their eventual success or failure. Naturally, the bold actions and decisive moves of the start-up are largely driven by founders themselves, and individual differences in founders have already been empirically linked to a wide range of entrepreneurial actions, behaviors, and cognitions. Pivoting as a discrete decision-making construct has long been observed and understood in practice, but only recently has it begun to attract the attention of entrepreneurship researchers; therefore, little is known about the antecedents of pivoting decisions and any internal factors that drive individual founders to make them. This quasi-experimental, quantitative exploration of two well-known developable personality constructs-entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE), and one factor from the five-factor model of personality called "openness to experience" (FFO)-found a modest but statistically significant relationship between the ESE Searching sub-scale and the number of reported pivots. No other relationships were found between pivoting frequency and the other ESE sub-scales or the FFO sub-scales. There was also a statistically significant relationship between the ESE Searching sub-scale and all three of the FFO sub-scales. These findings suggest further research is needed to determine the true nature and importance of these relationships.
