What’s going on here? Apparently 5 foot 7 inches is the ideal tech founder height. Napoleon complex?

Every time I find a bio on Tinder that says "under 6' not need apply," I will be citing this as evidence that the most successful founders are not over 6' tall. Thank you for this.

what's also noteworthy about napoleon's height is that he was average height (or close to it) for france at the time. he's just short for today's france. it's a bit of a simplification to attribute his personality to his height
