The Impact of PhD in Startups
Having a PhD can be beneficial for startups as it fosters resilience and the ability to navigate uncertainty. These traits are valuable in the startup journey. However, a PhD should not be pursued solely for the purpose of starting a company as it may hinder the completion of the degree. Startups can be pursued without a PhD, and technical knowledge can be acquired on the job.
