🎙️ Welcome to “Revise and Resubmit” — where ideas meet their second life, and every paper tells a story! 🌎✨

Today’s episode ventures into the heartbeat of entrepreneurial finance — that fragile space between seed funding and the next big leap. 💡💸

We’re diving into “Investor Heterogeneity and Venture Performance,” a 2026 article from the prestigious Journal of Business Venturing — yes, one of the elite FT50 journals that define academic excellence. 🏆

Authored by Marwin Mönkemeyer, Kathrin Rennertseder, and Henning Schröder, and published by Elsevier, this study uncovers a paradox: when a startup’s investors come from diverse cultural backgrounds, the very diversity that promises innovation can, at times, sow discord. 🤔🌍

Their data tells a sharp story — greater heterogeneity can mean lower chances of raising future funds and smaller investment volumes. The diversity dividend fades as ventures mature... suggesting that in early funding rounds, too many voices might just drown out direction. 📉🔍

But here’s the twist Gary Provost would have loved — nothing in research is ever that simple. Every coefficient hides a conversation, and every finding sparks the question that keeps us revising and resubmitting.

So here’s ours for today 🌀👇
👉 When does diversity stop being a strength — and start becoming a cost in venture creation?

Special thanks to the authors Marwin Mönkemeyer, Kathrin Rennertseder, and Henning Schröder, and to Elsevier for making this research possible through the Journal of Business Venturing (FT50). 🙏
