Researcher investigates the characteristic differences between entrepreneurs from universities versus corporates

University Startup Entrepreneurs (USEs) have immense scientific knowledge and receive substantial university support and resources to launch their high-tech startups. However, they are often not as successful as Corporate Startup Entrepreneurs (CSEs). Prof. Alex Coad studied the differences between USEs and CSEs and found that fundamental differences in entrepreneurial motivations, culture, knowledge, and identity could be the reason why CSEs have an edge over USEs.
