摘要

许多创业型公司面临着陷入现金流“死亡之谷”的风险——这是一个年轻公司生命的阶段，当种子资金枯竭时，公司还没有获得足够的额外资金来将其带入产品商业化。在新兴的清洁技术领域尤其如此，该领域的投资往往复杂且资本密集。本文通过对经验丰富的企业家、美国波浪能源转换公司首席执行官布莱恩·坎宁安的深度采访，探讨了坚持在创业中的作用，并区分了“有计划的”和“盲目的”坚持。

Persistence and Survival in Entrepreneurship: The Case of the Wave Energy Conversion Corporation of America

Many entrepreneurial firms risk falling into a cash flow “Valley of Death”‐the stage of a young firmʼs life when seed funding is running dry but the firm has yet to secure sufficient additional funding to carry it through to product commercialization.This is particularly true in the nascent cleantech sector, where investments are often complex and capital intensive. Drawing on an in-depth interview with seasoned entrepreneur Brian Cunningham, CEO of the Wave Energy Conversion Corporation of America, this article explores the role of persistence in entrepreneurship, distinguishing between “calculated” and “blind” persistence.
