Choosing between a Student–Run and Professionally Managed Venture Accelerator
本案例描述美国某大学学生运营的创业加速器面临转型压力，学生CEO需决定是坚持学生主导模式还是转向专业管理，适合创业教育和管理决策者参考。
This case presents challenges facing a student–run venture accelerator at a major university in the United States. The student–run model has attracted much media attention for its uniqueness, but it has also raised questions about its sustainability. Signals from a new dean, not invested in the student model, are putting much pressure on the student–chief executive officer to change course—to tweak the student–run model and fight for its future or cave in to pressures to “professionalize” it and let students take a backseat in management. The case highlights challenges in entrepreneurial leadership of a student–run accelerator at the point of initial growth.
