Entrepreneurial finance focuses on raising financial resources for young businesses.
In addition to friends and family (commonly referred to as love money in Anglo-Saxon contexts), who are often the first contributors to new entrepreneurial ventures for emotional reasons, and various public support programs, the primary source of funding comes from equity investors. These investors can generally be classified into three categories: venture capital, business angels, and the crowd, which can participate through equity-based crowdfunding platforms.
It is worth noting that, given their experience and specific skills and knowledge, some of these actors contribute more than just money to young companies.

What is the budget?

Prepared at the end of the fiscal year for the following period, a budget is a forecasting and control tool used to organize an organization’s activities and measure their financial impact, typically over a maximum of one year. It represents the quantitative and financial expression of the short-term action plan of management. At the end of the period, budget reconciliation allows for updating forecasts based on the results of the past year and the objectives for the coming year. Some companies choose to prepare rolling budgets or rolling forecasts. Budgets are often subject to criticism, and in response, new approaches are emerging.

What are target costs?

How can costs be reduced without diminishing the product’s value for the customer? This question is at the origin of the target costing approach. It is not a cost calculation technique, but rather a cost management method. Its objective is to deliver a product whose perceived value meets customer expectations while not exceeding a maximum cost, the target cost, which ensures that shareholder margin requirements are met. This method is based on two principles: the additivity principle and the symmetry principle. The approach aims to control costs while preserving customer value. However, it can be very complex to implement.

Entrepreneurial ecosystems in France and Norway

This research compares student entrepreneurial ecosystems in France and Norway, focusing on how students access support, resources, and networks. In France, the system is centralized, driven by key actors like Student Hubs for Innovation, Transfer and Entrepreneurship, called PEPITE. In Norway, it is open and collaborative, with strong student associations and community ties. Using interviews and social network analysis, I explored the access and the circulation of information among actors in student entrepreneurial ecosystems. The results reveal different paths to innovation shaped by culture, policy, and education. Supporting student entrepreneurship is not just about funding or training. It’s about building inclusive ecosystems where students, mentors, and institutions work together.

Women in family business boards: impact and legacy

The benefit of gender diversity on the corporate boards of family firms (FFs) continues to receive growing interest. In this paper, we examine the goals of women who hold a position on the board of directors at FFs. Goal setting has been used to identify what they want to accomplish here. How do they make a difference? This question is answered through the theoretical lens of socio- emotional wealth (SEW) and goal setting. We contribute to the literature supporting gender-diverse board composition, emphasizing the goals associated with women on FF boards, and highlighting their role in family business succession. Drawing on SEW and goal setting theory, this study examines how women’s goals influence succession. Driven by the research question, our data bring together three categories of goals pursued by women in the boardroom.

What is the Initial Coin Offering?

An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a modern fundraising method for start-ups, similar to crowdfunding but using digital tokens instead of traditional cash or rewards. Investors purchase these tokens, which they can later use to buy the product or resell for potential profit. ICOs provide entrepreneurs with a global financing opportunity while offering investors early access to innovative projects. Overall, ICOs connect entrepreneurship, finance, and blockchain technology, making them a revolutionary tool for start-up funding.

Environmental Tax Policies in Emerging Markets: Does Confidence in Political Institutions Matter?

The goal of this study is to examine how environmental taxes influence the comparative advantage in environmental products and carbon emissions within emerging economies. To gain a better understanding, we examine whether this impact changes depending on the level of government integrity. The results indicate that increased environmental taxes mitigate the comparative advantage in environmental goods for emerging markets. However, for countries with high levels of government integrity, higher environmental taxes enhance their competitive edge in environmental goods. Additionally, our findings show that although a rise in environmental taxes is associated with higher carbon emissions, raising such taxes results in a reduction in carbon emissions for emerging economies with solid government integrity. These findings suggest that robust political institutions are crucial in promoting the comparative advantage of emerging markets in environmental goods and mitigating climate change. In the absence of substantial confidence in political or governmental institutions, the efficient implementation of climate taxes poses considerable challenges. Furthermore, we observe that an increase in the comparative advantage of environmental goods results in a decrease in carbon emissions.
