If you take the intersection of people who are basically fit and lack latent or unmanaged anxiety disorders, then add people who are self motivated and driven, you're going to get a fairly attractive cohort.

Attractiveness is basically fitness and low neuroticism. If you have those and enough emotional intelligence to not be a criminal, you're going to generally fail upwards. Add any one of an elite education, a stdev above average intelligence, good mentoring, self awareness, or a competition level skill, and you can get a seat a most tables.

How does low neuroticism contribute to physical attractiveness?
Presence.
What does that even mean? Do you mean to use presence as a term combining posture, grooming, style, facial resting position, body language, etc? I understand that but my original point was about the structure of the founders' faces, not whether they have an undefinable charisma.
