• Friends, Family, or Fools: Entrepreneur Experience and its Implications for Equity Distribution and Resource Mobilization (2012, background): “Individuals with prior start-up experience or worked for a new venture are trained to be entrepreneurs by exposure to the entrepreneurial process (Gompers et al., 2005; Sorensen, 2007; Ucbasaran et al., 2009).”
