🤖Excited to share a new working paper.🤖

The phrase "AI-Native firms" it everywhere, but are they any different? Is it just hype?

In our new paper we show AI ventures are organized differently, but not for the reasons you think. Image We argue that building a firm around AI isn't just about the *process* changes (e.g. using Cursor) but also involves a *product* channel whereby firms embed AI into what they sell which then changes how the firm should be organized.

NEW PAPER w/ Ruiqing Cao & Ramana Nanda!

Tagging some papers below.

I hope it inspires some optimism. With @RonnieChatterji @shariqueorg and Solene Delecourt (@HarvardHBS @DukeFuqua @BerkeleyHaas) we have run RCTs looking on whether and when getting advice improves startup growth. Advice helps, especially for entrepreneurs with less training:

New working paper!

“The Value of communication” w/ Stefan Dimitriadis @rotmanschool

Using a RCT in Togo we find that “communication practices” cause entrepreneurs to share more information, form more/better relationships, and increase profitability. Why?

Thread follows 👇 1/ First of all, this paper comes out of Stefan’s amazing dissertation work @HarvardHBS.

Stefan interviewed ~50 entreprenerus in Togo.

The interviews revaled that entrepeneurs has trouble communicating with one another.

For example, one entrepreneur commented:
