The purpose of this PDW is to discuss new theoretical approaches to studying recent empirical developments in the realm of entrepreneurial finance. Although prior research has highlighted how vital venture investors are to startup success, a variety of new forms of venture investing have arisen in recent years. These new organizations, and in some case organizational forms, are worthy of study by management and strategy scholars because of their contribution to fostering innovation and economic development. For example, scholars have recently begun to study super angels, micro-VC funds, venture accelerators and incubators and crowd funding. Each of these new types of funding require different types of strategies by entrepreneurs seeking them out, and at the same time are likely to have different impacts on the firms that receive them. In this PDW we will discuss the current state of entrepreneurial finance and the exciting variety of new avenues for fruitful inquiry in this realm. The PDW will begin with a panel discussion of senior scholars followed by a moderated discussion and open Q&A to discuss current research interests by other interested scholars.
