My name is Gresa, and I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Munich. My research focuses on two crucial moments of a young venture’s life: their starting phase (how do they secure financing to start and upscale) and (2) they get sold. I am also interested in the venture’s development in the gig economy context. I have co-founded two companies in the educational sector, and together, they count for 30 full-time employees. My entrepreneurial background has continuously informed my research and teaching.
