<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Dear Hacker and Maker
community,<br>
<br>
I am a French student at the University of Cambridge and write my
Master 's thesis on the way that "Fabrication spaces and
Maker/Hacker communities lower barrier to and support
entrepreneurship".<br>
<br>
I visited different spaces worldwide and read literature on
fabrication space business models, benefits and limits. However,
to complete my dissertation , I am looking for Makers
entrepreneurs who developed or are developing their idea/product
in Hackerspaces/Makerspaces and who are willing to share their
entrepreneurial experience with me. By means of case studies, I
hope to understand and highlight the role that these spaces and
the maker culture plays in lowering barriers to and supporting
entrepreneurship and innovation. And the more case studies I can
gather, the more robust and accurate my study will be. <br>
<br>
For this reason, I would be really grateful if makers
entrepreneurs out there could contact me (<a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ngp32@cam.ac.uk">ngp32@cam.ac.uk</a>)
to share their experience with me. Your contribution will help me
to bridge the current gap regarding the maker culture in the
Academic Literature and hence help to emphasise its importance for
Innovation. Please note that if for IP reasons you can't share any
information on your product, it remains possible to conduct an
interview and make a case study out of your experience.<br>
<br>
Finally, if you are an entrepreneur or not and you would like to
get more information about my work, please do not hesitate to
contact me.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span
