Entrepreneurial Support Organizations

My research examines the extent to which participation in Entrepreneurial Support Organizations (ESOs) e.g., incubator and accelerator programs improve the performance of start-ups and the conditions in which this improvement is more pronounced.

Gender and Migrant Entrepreneurship

I study the challenges faced by female and migrant entrepreneurs, exploring how entrepreneurial support programs can mitigate structural barriers and enhance inclusivity within entrepreneurial ecosystems.

I look for ways accelerators drive entrepreneurship & I look for ways to foster new venture creation

My research lies in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation. I am currently conducting research on Entrepreneurial Support Organizations (ESOs) in Denmark that explores the challenges faced by female and immigrant entrepreneurs, and how participation in entrepreneurship support programs can help address these barriers.  

The project investigates two main questions: (1) the extent to which participation in accelerator programs improve the performance of start-ups and the conditions in which this improvement is more pronounced and (2) the extent to which this effect is more or less pronounced for female vs. male and for migrant vs. native entrepreneurs. 

 

My research helps: 

support organizations reflect on the design of their entrepreneurial education and training initiatives 

policymakers design inclusive support programs that reduce barriers for women and migrant entrepreneurs 

entrepreneurs access support programs that help them foster venture creation and growth
