What to expect from this entrepreneurship site
In Why I started this entrepreneurship site I explained my motivations for launching yet another entrepreneurship site. Now, I’m excited to tell you more about the content I have planned and, specifically, what you can expect to see in the coming weeks.
A multitude of useful and entertaining blogs are available today from leading founders and venture capitalists who share their ideas and experiences building and investing in startups. Likewise, I will add to the conversation and share my thoughts and experiences on technology entrepreneurship. You will see posts on topics such as product development, content marketing, funnels, ideation, opportunity evaluation, fundraising, leadership, intentional culture, myriad programming and technology topics, managing engineers, recruiting a team, etc.
In addition, this site offers something unique, and I want you to take advantage of it. It will expose you to ideas that nobody in the office is discussing—and they won’t always be practical or actionable.
Every Monday morning the site will publish a review of an interesting, influential or useful research article1 (or other scholarly work), framed by me for entrepreneurs and those in the startup community. What do the articles cover? They romp freely through academic fields relevant to startups, including entrepreneurship, finance, management, marketing, sociology, psychology, computer science, information systems, and data science.
Coming Up
- Monday, May 8th, the site’s first article review will go live. It examines Blanchflower and Oswald’s 1998 article, “What makes an entrepreneur?” The authors take a hard look at the data to determine whether or not entrepreneurs are actually happier than employees. It also looks at who does—and doesn’t—pursue their entrepreneurial ambitions and why.
- Monday, May 15th, we’ll take a look at Amir Bhide’s article, “The questions every entrepreneur must answer,” a classic Harvard Business Review piece that offers a set of strategic questions—a framework—entrepreneurs can use to achieve more intentionality in their business.
Please leave a comment and let me know about your own experiences making sense of academic literature or what you would like to see explored on this site.

Sign up to explore the intersection of evidence-based knowledge and hands-on startup experience.
Several times a month you’ll receive an article with practical insight and guidance on launching and growing your business. In addition, you’ll be exposed to interesting, influential or useful research, framed for those in the startup community.
Just starting my own site to document my entrepreneurship journey and went looking for other blogs to network with. Looking forward to reading more of your stuff!
