I experimentally study how investors evaluate a startup idea based on the socioeconomic background of the founder, the target customer, and the (in)congruence between the two. I am also interested in how the socioeconomic background of investors themselves affect these evaluations. I aim to contribute to the research on diversity and inequality in entrepreneurial funding in which socioeconomic backgrounds have been relatively understudied. I also provide implications on whose problems are deemed worthy of resources, and how to support the missing entrepreneurs from underprivileged backgrounds.</p> <p><a href="http://www.innovationgrowthlab.org/research-network/jean-joohyun-oh">Jean Joohyun Oh</a> is part of <a href="https://www.innovationgrowthlab.org/research-network">IGL's Research Network</a></p> The full abstract of the study, if available Links https://www.socialscienceregistry.org/trials/10361 Links to any published papers and related discussions Authors * Affiliations Academic and other institutes that the authors of the study are members of Delivery partner Organisations involved in delivering the trial, if appropriate Year Year Year199419951996199719981999200020012002200320042005200620072008200920102011201220132014201520162017201820192020202120222023202420252026 Month MonthJanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec Day Day12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031 Journal Journal publishing the study, if available Publication stage * Working Paper Published Ongoing Research Forthcoming Discussion Paper Research theme * Entrepreneurship Innovation Business Growth Country Country or countries where this study took place.
