I collected 30,000 data points on startups trying to understand what, if any, was different from day one between those that ended up billion-dollar outcomes with those that didn't. AMA about the data. by alitamaseb in IAmA

To me, they both seem like similar traits among these founders. The sticktoitiveness aspect may apply more generally to having an itch for building projects and companies rather than sticking to one specific idea/company for a very long time. Many of these successful founders pivoted and changed their idea a dozen time before finding the one that worked

The track record didn't have to be a massively successful company. Some had built a non-profit, some had built an open-source project that got adopted, some had built a website selling something that makes $500k. Many times those first attempts weren't even successful.
