Jeroen Verbouw

Jeroen is an Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship at IE University. His research explores important questions in entrepreneurial finance and family firm entrepreneurship from the perspectives of the (family) entrepreneurs, investors, and their stakeholders. Specifically, he studies the latest developments in the entrepreneurial funding landscape such as investor interactions and the proliferation of new capital sources to determine how, why, and when entrepreneurs and investors make investment decisions, under which conditions they do so, and the venture-level implications thereof. He also studies the role of (family) entrepreneurship in affecting real-level stakeholder outcomes such as employee health and well-being.

Jeroen presented his research and organized sessions at various top conferences including the Academy of Management Annual Meeting, the Babson College Entrepreneurship Research Conference, the Corporate Strategy and Innovation Conference at the Wharton School, and the Entrepreneurial Finance workshop at Imperial College London. His research was recognized as a top paper at multiple Babson Conferences, and he was a finalist for the best Corporate Finance paper at the European Financial Management Annual Meeting in 2023. His work has been invited for revision at Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal.
