A friendly invitation to join us in the pdw:
76. Supporting High Tech High Potential Entrepreneurship (ENT, TIM)
Saturday, Aug 9 2008 8:00AM - 10:00AM <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Anaheim</st1:place></st1:city> Convention Center, 204A
The first question we ask: How to support the genesis of entrepreneurial teams with high ambitions in high tech based ventures?
Saturday 8.00-10.00
In this PDW we will discuss a newly developed group based method to stimulate development of multidisciplinary teams starting up high tech-high ambition firms. In this pre-incubator we work with groups of up to 60 ambitious entrepreneurs on developing entrepreneurial competencies by developing business opportunities based on high tech.
This facility also offers the possibility to research opportunity recognition, genesis of teams, networking and venture capital processes. So the second question we ask is how to do research in such a quasi-experiment. We (Englis/Groen, Kraaijenbrink/Spender, Walsh/Pieper, Englis/Wakkee and Groen/Pieper) will present several ideas on theory, research method and evaluation research. Furthermore we show some connections to teaching entrepreneurship.
Also we are open for collaboration with other (pre-) incubators to compare and learn from each other.
Hope to see you in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Anaheim</st1:place></st1:city>!
