About

I am Meyyappan Narayanan, an assistant professor with the rapidly growing Lakehead University Faculty of Business Administration and am located at the university’s campus in the vibrant city of Thunder Bay in the province of Ontario in Canada. I was earlier an assistant professor of entrepreneurship at the Silberman College of Business, Fairleigh Dickinson University, the largest private university in the state of New Jersey, USA. I obtained my Ph. D. in Management Sciences at the University of Waterloo, a leading comprehensive university in Canada that Bloomberg calls the “Silicon Valley’s Canadian Feeder School.”

You may find more about me here. My doctoral thesis entitled “Venture Capital Investment under Private Information” is here. My scholarly articles on venture capital can be found here (IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management) and here (Academy of Management Proceedings). My article titled “Distributing Startup Equity: A Theoretical Foundation for an Emerging Practice” is forthcoming (as of Dec. 2016) in the Journal of Small Business Management.
