PublicationFraming ideas for new venture resources acquisition in crises: An fsQCA analysisHow should new venture ideas be framed in order to acquire human resources and gain support in times of crisis characterized by struggling or failing institutions and governmental organizations? To answer this question, we analyze 316 new venture ideas aimed at alleviating the COVID-19 crisis in 11 countries. We investigate different linguistic framing configurations and test their persuasive power for human resource acquisition. Our fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and linguistic analysis reveal that a “common enemy framing” is crucial for obtaining resources in crisis contexts. Non-profit venture ideas, specifically, may acquire resources via two additional paths: adding positive emotional content or using an entrepreneurial hustle framing with concrete calls to action. Our findings provide novel insights into entrepreneurial resource acquisition and idea framing during crises.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of Business Venturing InsightsVolume: 17

PublicationClosing the funding gap for disabled entrepreneurs with the help of cognitive science( 2023-07-01)Disabled people experience much lower labor market participation rates than the non-disabled worldwide. Entrepreneurship has been coined as a powerful tool against unemployment, especially for minority and marginalized groups. However, disabled people face specific entry barriers to entrepreneur-ship, among which the most important one is the lack of access to start-up capital. Despite the importance of the issue, there is a paucity of studies investigating why equity investors (e.g. business angels, venture capital investors) place disabled entrepreneur at a disadvantage. In this project, we aim to shed light on investors’ decision-making processes when evaluating new ventures led by disabled entrepreneurs. For that, we will draw on a cognitive perspective, building on cognitive load and cognitive dissonance theory. From a methodological point of view, we will perform a series of online, lab, and field experiments, employing novel neurophysiological measurements such as eye tracking. These methods enable us to study what happens in the brains of the investors when they make funding decisions – a novel territory in entrepreneurship research Our main theoretical contribution will be to the disability and minority entrepreneurship literature, where we will add a much-needed cognitive lens, helping to understand the decision-making processes of new venture investors when facing disabled entrepreneurs and uncover what lies behind the apparent discrimination of such entrepreneurs. For disabled entrepreneurs our study shows how to best position and present their ventures to overcome the difficulties in getting financed. For equity investors, our study will help them to better comprehend their own decision processes, so that they can reach their self-pro-claimed goals of diversity and inclusivity. Our study will also inform policy makers about the objectives and instruments needed to close the gap in financing for disabled entrepreneurs.Type: conference contribution
