about me
Hello and welcome to my website!
My name is Hilary He-Jin Ahn and I am a 5th year PhD candidate in Strategy & Entrepreneurship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am entering the job market this fall.
My research passion lies in exploring the fundamental questions in our field. My dissertation focuses on an important source of early-stage firm growth - VC (Venture Capital). I investigate the growth and profitability emphases of VCs and VC-backed ventures. I also explore the antecedents to becoming venture capitalists to understand their decision-making processes.
During my PhD, I have meticulously constructed a novel text dataset spanning 25 years that provides unique perspectives. This dataset has significant potential for a more in-depth study of VC and firm growth beyond the early stages. I believe that addressing core questions is key to understanding the complexities of today's market.
