Entrepreneurial support organizations (ESO) are ubiquitous in the promotion of new venture emergence round the world. Their operation consists of supplying a mix or infrastructure, training, and access to networks designed to create a shielded environment in which new ventures can thrive. In this PDW, we wish to explore the potential of ESO to become laboratories of entrepreneurship theory and practice advancement in two different but interrelated fronts: close observation of entrepreneurs in the field; and application of novel theoretical insights.
