Moritz Johannes Mey
After several years in the start-up scene, I would now like to research the phenomena that I have observed and experienced. In doing so, I want to build a bridge between entrepreneurship and research and use practical questions to understand how entrepreneurs can contribute to sustainable social change.
I am particularly interested in
Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
...or startup ecosystems and how they can create conditions for entrepreneurship that helps to reach Sustainable Development Goals.
Entrepreneurial Finance
How well do venture capital funds actually perform, and what effect do the structure and motivations of VCs have on start-ups and their founding teams? What opportunities do founding teams have to finance themselves? How do fundraising processes work and what role does impact investing actually play??
Impact & Sustainability
How do startups have an impact? What is ‘real impact’? What motivates start-up teams to become active in the field of social, environmental or impact entrepreneurship?
New Technologies
Blockchain for Social Good, Dezentralized Finance, DAOs, Use-Cases of Blockchain
Conditions for Entrepreneurial success
