Atypical entrepreneurs in the venture idea elaboration phase

Saggi Nevo

Journal of Business Venturing, 2025, vol. 40, issue 2

Abstract: •The paper explains why atypical nascent entrepreneurs may not receive the feedback they need for elaborating a venture idea.•The paper shows that a Black/White woman nascent entrepreneur is likely to be sanctioned for entering a profession with which she is seen as incongruent.•Although both are atypical entrepreneurs, nascent Black and White women entrepreneurs are associated with different stereotypes and receive different types of venture-related feedback.•Feedback providers are influenced by ingroup consensus, which can reduce their susceptibility to social stereotypes.
