How Important is Startup Team Dynamics in VC Assessment

I am a researcher analyzing the importance VC's attach to team dynamics in their evaluation or assessment of nascent startup firms.

I have read VC's attach a lot of importance to founding teams-“A mediocre idea with a good team is better than an excellent idea with a mediocre team”

But realistically, how important is the team dynamics, specifically their experience, education, heterogeneity (Eg. coming from different functional background such as technology, management, sales).

Appreciate any feedback on the above.
