We talk about:

  • How Chiara became interested in becoming an academic in entrepreneurship

  • Chiara's goals at INSEAD in her first year as a professor

  • Can you teach entrepreneurship? If yes, how? In terms of method, through the case study method or the traditional way?

  • Is there anything scientific about decision making in the early-stage ventures? How can you improve your odds of survival and success? 

  • How can you experiment in a highly regulated industry like Financial Services? 

  • Strengths and perhaps weaknesses of the start-ups in Italy vs. the rest of the world 

  • Chiara's research on emerging phenomena in entrepreneurship like crowdfunding, accelerators, and hackathons

  • Chiara's involvement with Hackathon Research Center
