This doctoral dissertation investigates the identity of entrepreneurs in social ventures. First, I conduct a systematic literature review on the topic of the ‘identity of entrepreneurs’. Second, I investigate the imprinting of founder role and social identity configurations on new ventures using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis. Third, I explore how founders manage their identification with their social ventures alongside values-based tradeoffs in a qualitative study. These three related studies contribute to entrepreneurship and identity literature.
