Age Normalized Testosterone Peaks at Series B for Male Startup Founders (arxiv.org)

This is a very funny conclusion. Testosterone increases after the first raise, making the founder feel great. Testosterone decreases after the second round due to stress and pressure.

And testosterone correlates with whether they can raise a big round.

Maybe YC should be doing testosterone tests before accepting a startup.
