Chapter 1 in Field Guide to Entrepreneurial Finance, 2026, pp 1-9 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This book offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary guide to the dynamic field of entrepreneurial finance. It addresses the rapid diversification of financing instruments—ranging from venture capital and crowdfunding to blockchain-based models and government programs—while also tackling the rise of advanced research methods such as experiments, neuroscience, and AI. Originating from the 2023 ENTFIN Doctoral Colloquium, the book is designed to serve multiple audiences: early-career researchers, established scholars, policymakers, and educators. Each chapter provides a synthesis of current knowledge, identifies research gaps, and outlines future directions. By bridging the theoretical, methodological, and practical perspectives across disciplines, this volume aims to foster rigorous, innovative, and impactful research in entrepreneurial finance.
