IOF CONCEPT project: NASCENT (R-12012)

"Nascent" is a matchmaking tool that combines academic rigor with civic relevance in order to connect entrepreneurial talent and nascent entrepreneurs who aim to start or expand a new business. The matchmaking tool links entrepreneurial demand and supply by implementing academically validated measures and scales in order to obtain a qualitative match, i.e., complementarity in skills, personality and mindset. The matchmaking is three-pronged. We include hard skills (e.g., education, experience, age, industry), soft skills (e.g., entrepreneurial passion, individual entrepreneurial orientation) and expectations (e.g., which hard skills are you looking for?). On top of the matchmaking, "Nascent" also provides an entrepreneurial self-scan which allows users to analyze what type of entrepreneur they are.
