Scholarly Calling
My scholarly work centers on entrepreneurial finance and the mechanisms through which firms access public markets. I study how companies transition from private financing rounds to public listings, and how these processes shape firm growth, investor outcomes, and market dynamics. I hope to offer additional insights to the field and possibly inspire emerging scholars to contribute their own work in this area.
