摘要

创业公司的创始人经常会遇到矛盾的紧张关系。然而，创业加速器能否以及如何帮助创业者接受这些矛盾，仍未得到充分探讨。我们对Y Combinator的研究表明，创业加速器可以在培养创业者悖论思维方面发挥关键作用，让创业者了解矛盾的紧张关系，传授解决矛盾的启发式方法，并实施深思熟虑的设计选择来促进学习——尤其是通过替代和体验式学习的机会。本研究将悖论理论纳入创业研究，有助于理解加速器设计选择与创业学习之间的相互作用，扩展创业心态的知识，并提供一些实用的见解。

Developing the Entrepreneurial Paradox Mindset: The Role of Startup Accelerators and Educational Programs

Startup founders often encounter paradoxical tensions. Yet, whether and how startup accelerators can equip founders to embrace such contradictions remains underexplored. Our study of Y Combinator reveals that accelerators can play a pivotal role in cultivating an entrepreneurial paradox mindset by exposing founders to teachings about paradoxical tensions, imparting heuristics to navigate them, and implementing thoughtful design choices to foster learning—particularly through vicarious and experiential learning opportunities. This study integrates paradox theory into entrepreneurship research, contributes to understanding the interplay between accelerator design choices and entrepreneurial learning, extends knowledge of entrepreneurial mindsets, and provides several practical insights.
