Congratulations to Amisha Miller, PhD graduate and former Lecturer at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, now Assistant Professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business, on receiving the 2024 TIM Best Dissertation Award for her groundbreaking work, “Changing the system, not the seeker.”
Her dissertation investigates how investment firm practices contribute to gender disparities in startup funding, shifting the focus from individual entrepreneurs to the systems that shape outcomes. Praised for its innovative blend of fieldwork and experimental methods, her research offers powerful insights into how small changes in evaluation processes can drive more equitable funding decisions. Reviewers commended the study for its rigorous analysis, methodological sophistication, and significant contributions to both theory and practice in entrepreneurship.
