On May 20th 2026, our community fellow Dr. Zhuo Lin will give a lecture on ‘From failure to funding: Founder learning and how to study it‘.

In this event, DSI fellow Dr. Zhuo Lin will share preliminary findings from his research on founders of failed tech startups. This study probes the question: how can founders of failed startups signal to potential investors that they have learned from their failure and will thus do better in their next venture?

 

In addition to research findings, Zhuo will also share resources for studying entrepreneurship, particularly tech startups, that people interested in entrepreneurship research can utilize for their own research.

Date: May 20th, 10:00-11:00
Location: DSI Event Room, Rämistrasse 69, UZH.
