Can a founder be created in a classroom?
If the answer is yes, what exactly can we teach that changes the probability of startup success?
And if the answer is no, what is the real role of a university entrepreneurship program?
The research provides some surprisingly clear answers about what programs can influence, what founders largely bring with them, and where universities can have the greatest impact.
But that leads to a harder question: if every startup enters a program with different risks, should every founder be taught the same things, in the same order, at the same time?
Our latest Rocketbeet Research paper explores the evidence—and what it could mean for how entrepreneurship programs are designed and measured.
