Mary V. and Mark A. Stevens Associate Professor of Business Administration

Rem Koning is the Mary V. and Mark A. Stevens Associate Professor at Harvard Business School. He researches and teaches entrepreneurship, exploring the biases and frictions that shape how founders and markets learn. His current research explores how AI is transforming entrepreneurship across the globe, from microenterprises in Jakarta to startups in San Francisco.

A pioneer in the use of field experiments to study entrepreneurial strategy and innovation, Rem is the co-director and co-founder of the Tech for All lab at The Digital, Data, and Design (D^3) Institute at Harvard. He also co-leads the Conference on Field Experiments in Strategy (CFXS), is an associate editor for Management Science, and is an invited researcher at J-PAL’s Science for Progress Initiative (SfPI). He has received generous research funding from the Kauffman and Sloan Foundations.

Rem teaches executives and MBAs at HBS, having launched a second-year elective course, Strategy for Entrepreneurs (SFE), that blends case discussion and hands-on exercises to help students discover and test startup ideas that the market has missed. His research and cases have explored how to build startups in underserved markets like women's and mental health, the crucial role of advice and feedback in venture building, and the learning challenges faced by entrepreneurs in emerging markets.

Tech for All Lab
The Tech for All Lab at the D^3 Institute aims to promote accessibility. It will broaden the benefits of digital innovation to reach more emerging economies. By providing knowledge and tools across the stack, it will serve as a launchpad for start-ups and entrepreneurs, and help established companies and governments across the world to learn how to succeed in the digital age. 
The Uneven Impact of Generative AI on Entrepreneurial Performance
There is a growing belief that scalable and low-cost AI assistance can improve firm decision-making and economic performance. However, running a business involves a myriad of open-ended problems, making it hard to generalize from recent studies showing that generative AI improves performance on well-defined writing tasks. In our five-month field experiment with 640 Kenyan entrepreneurs, we assessed the impact of AI-generated advice on small business revenues and profits. Participants were randomly assigned to a control group that received a standard business guide or to a treatment group that received a GPT-4 powered AI business mentor via WhatsApp.

While we find no average treatment effect, this is because the causal effect of generative AI access varied with the baseline business performance of the entrepreneur: high performers benefited by just over 20% from AI advice, whereas low performers did roughly 10% worse with AI assistance. Exploratory analysis of the WhatsApp interaction logs shows that both groups sought the AI mentor’s advice, but that low performers did worse because they sought help on much more challenging business tasks. These findings highlight how the tasks selected by firms and entrepreneurs for AI assistance fundamentally shape who will benefit from generative AI.

Sampling Bias in Entrepreneurial Experiments
Using data from a prominent online platform for launching new digital products, we document that ‘sampling bias’—defined as the difference between a startup’s target customer base and the actual sample on which early ‘beta tests’ are conducted—has a systematic and persistent impact on the venture’s success. Specifically, we show that products with a female-focused target market launching on a typical day, when nine in ten users on this platform are men, experience 45% less growth a year after launch than those for whom the target market is more male-focused. By isolating exogenous variation in the composition of beta testers unrelated to the characteristics of launched products on that day, we find that on days when there are unexpectedly more women beta testers on the platform—reducing the amount of sampling bias for female-focused products—the gender-performance gap shrinks towards zero. Our results highlight how sampling bias can lead to fewer successfully commercialized innovations for consumers who are underrepresented among early users.

Strategy For Entrepreneurs
Strategy for Entrepreneurs (SFE) helps students develop better strategies for the ventures they start, the startups they will join, and the new companies they might invest in. The course pushes students to write down a theory of value and then design and run experiments testing this theory. Towards this end, students are required to develop a startup idea and test it over the course of the semester. See the links below for further information about the course.
