Resumen
This paper studies whether the gender of the first team member plays a role in the capacity of funded project survive. The analysis use data from the projects or ideas funded by the CORFO´s Seed Capital program. Using data from funded projects or ideas from CORFO, through its seed capital program, I investigate whether the gender of the first team member plays a role in the capacity of the funded project to survive. Results show that once controlling for relevant covariates, gender does not play a role. The survival probability of the firm is not affected by whether the first team member is a male or female.
Variables such as the number of members in the project´s team, the experience, working and entrepreneurial, of the first team member, and the funding that the project received, do have an impact on the survival probability of it. Gerencia emprendimiento Corfo
