Guidelines for submitting an abstract

1. Objectives & Scope

Entrepreneurship has entered a new era shaped by AI. Yet the rapid pace of the technologies' advances and diffusion also calls for accelerating scholarly efforts to better understand the import that AI may have for entrepreneurship research, theory and practice. To foster such acceleration, we invite interested scholars to submit one-page extended abstracts that address the nexus between AI and entrepreneurship.

This can include abstracts that aim to:

• Prospect emerging AI frontiers in entrepreneurship research and practice

• Establish new theoretical and methodological foundations by integrating AI as both a research lens and practical enabler in entrepreneurship

• Bridge AI’s technical advances (e.g., generative models, prediction engines) with core entrepreneurship constructs and theories (e.g., effectuation, opportunity recognition, resource mobilization)

• Accelerate community capacity by proposing empirical studies, conceptual frameworks, or methodological innovations that guide scholars through this relatively uncharted domain.

2. Illustrative Themes & Questions

We welcome work on, but not limited to:

• Algorithmic Entrepreneurship: Theorizing new venture creation powered by AI

• External Enablement Mechanisms: How gen-AI expands opportunity recognition and resource abundance

• Entrepreneurial Finance: AI-driven investor decision tools, pitch preparation, and portfolio management

• Resource Scarcity & Abundance: Does AI disrupt effectuation, lean startup, bootstrapping paradigms?

• Demographics & Diversity: AI’s impact on age curves, neurodiversity, and closing gender gaps

• Cognition & Well-Being: AI support for entrepreneurial cognition, mental health, and “uncertainty fog”

• Ethical & Legal Issues: Algorithmic bias and responsible AI governance in new ventures/entrepreneurship research.

• AI’s Existential Risks: Could an AI-powered economy of abundance supplant human entrepreneurship?

• AI-based Entrepreneurship Metrics: How can AI tools help creating new types of entrepreneurship data

• AI-based Research Methods: How do AI-based research method become a new scholarly frontier in entrepreneurship research
