Conference presentation of the Junior Professorship at at RENT 2025 in Enschede

The focus was on the paper “Catalyst or Constraint? Exploring How the Gender of Angel Investors Affects Securing Venture Capital Funding”.
In our gender homophily paper, we examine whether an initial financing round through angel investments—when characterized by gender-homophily constellations—acts as a signal that shapes the likelihood of securing a second round of funding.
