Biography
Chuan Chen is a honorary research fellow at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery. His current research focuses on how to better help and educate entrepreneurs. Together with the Entrepreneurship Science Lab team, he studies college entrepreneurship and student initiatives. Using unique data covering all students at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, he aims to understand “Who are the student entrepreneurs?” “Whether and how they are different from others?” “How can we help them?”
His other research projects study the value creation of business accelerators and mentorship formation between startup founders and their mentors. Dr. Chen is also interested in developing and applying empirical two-sided matching models.
Dr. Chen holds a Ph.D. in business economics from Olin Business School, Washington University in St. Louis.
