Meike Isabelle Siefkes
Om
I am a researcher at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. My research focuses on different early-stage investors for green start-ups, including venture capital firms, business angels, limited partners, impact investors, and incubators. During my Ph.D. (August 2021 to March 2025), I researched business angels who invest in green start-ups and their hands-on involvement for the creation of economic and environmtenal value. My research is financed by FME NTRANS (Norwegian Centre for Energy Transition Studies).
Prior, I pursued a double master in Entrepreneurship at NTNU and Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability at the Technical University of Berlin, where I also did a Bachelor in Sustainable Management. My prior work experience includes four years working at a German publishing house in various departments, academic consulting, and sustainability consulting.
