Hello,

I'm not an entrepreneur, but i conduct research on entrepreneurship.
I however do work as a freelancer (code, IT project management, etc.) but in my full time I'm a researcher. I studied computer science/information systems and work now at a public university in germany.
My name is Dominik.
I usually do research about IT-supported creativity, gamification, design thinking and entrepreneurship. Always looking at the use of IT and information systems. I teach e-business and e-services on a post-graduate level. Additionally i mentor(ed) a few start-ups (IT related startups)

At the moment, me and a colleague conducting a study with which we want to find out, how entrepreneurs are supported by other entrepreneurs in online communities (such like this forum).
I know, surveys are annoying, but we are a public university conducting non-funded research. We cannot buy big amounts of data or e-mails. We require participants for our research and publish our work that might help entrepreneurs on a long term.

I would love to share the survey with you, but I don't want to get banned or flamed for just searching participants. Please let me know (maybe even DM me) if you would participate. It only takes around 5 minutes to fill out the survey. If i can post the survey, me and my research colleague would be more than happy.

Dominik
