  • Do Network Dynamics Undermine Idea-Based Network Advantages? Experimental Results from an Entrepreneurship Bootcamp∗
    Do network dynamics undermine idea-based network advantages? Experimental results from an entrepreneurship bootcamp∗ Rembrand Koning Harvard Business School August 29, 2016 Abstract Do networks plentiful in ideas provide early stage startups with performance advantages? On the one hand, network positions that provide access to a multitude of ideas are thought to increase team performance. On the other hand, research on network formation argues that such positional advantages should be fleeting as entrepreneurs strategically compete over the most valuable network positions. To investigate these competing views, I embed a field experiment in a startup bootcamp to test if networks that are plentiful in ideas lead to sustainable network- based performance advantages. Leveraging data on each participant's creative potential, I use peer randomizations and detailed data on network formation to show that ties to more creative individuals improve team performance. Despite the performance benefits of such connections, I find little evidence that entrepreneurs strategically connect to others who have greater cre- ative potential. Instead, entrepreneurs seek feedback from others on dimensions that are more socially salient and verifiable. Beyond providing causal evidence for the durability of network- based performance advantages, these findings provide micro-level support to the importance of knowledge spillovers within bootcamps, accelerators, and startup ecosystems more generally. ∗Please direct correspondence to [email protected]. This work has benefited from excellent feedback provided by sem- inar participants at Stanford GSB, Northwestern Kellogg, Chicago Booth, Michigan, Duke Fugua, HBS, Wharton, Berkeley, INSEAD, MIT's Conference on Digital Experimentation, the 2014 Conference on Computational Sociol- ogy, Airbnb, and Google. Special thanks to everyone who made the bootcamp happen, especially Ponnurangam Kumaraguru and Randy Lubin.

  • Exotics at Redmond Town Center Blog Archiver for 2019
    Exotics at Redmond Town Center Blog Archiver for 2019 ______________________________________________________________________________ December 27, 2019 Happy Battery Day! Yup, happy Battery Day! I don’t know about you, but December 26 was always the day my parents would have to run to the store to buy all the batteries our toys needed on Christmas Day. We never seem to have the right batteries and back then, the box didn’t say batteries were not included. Nothing was open on Christmas Day. Remember some of the toys we’d get? Monsters that shot actual sparks? They could burn down a house! Then there was the Gilbert chemistry set, where you’d be in the basement cooking meth and not even know it. You could do some serious Walter White crap and nobody said anything. About the only thing not in that set was plutonium. You’d look at the periodic table to see what was missing and try and collect it like stamps. Mine came in a big metal box because half the stuff was so corrosive that the box would eventually have holes in it. I had to store it in a “safe” place to keep it from eating through concrete. Kids have it easy today. They don’t get anything that will instantly turn to cyanide if you missed a sentence in the directions and kill everyone in the entire block. Kids today don’t get stuff that, where dad says, “Timmy, don’t blow up the house!” he kind of means it. Remember Christmas light that burned so hot they could warm the entire house? It wasn’t a matter of if you left the lights on they would burn the house down, but rather, don’t leave them on or you burn the entire house down.
