בחינת הקשר בין טראומה ליזמות

The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between trauma and entrepreneurship as a channel for post-traumatic growth.
The research will focus on a unique group of 17 entrepreneurs who experienced the trauma of October 7th and subsequently established meaningful and impactful ventures.
The study seeks to identify the psychological and entrepreneurial mechanisms that enable growth, renewal, and action emerging from a post-traumatic experience.

As part of the research, questionnaires will be administered, in-depth interviews will be conducted, and an innovative coaching process will take place using a bot that simulates an investor or stakeholder—as part of a learning and empowerment process.
Additionally, a follow-up measurement will be conducted to enable tracking of the participants' personal and business development over time.

The study is carried out under the academic guidance of the School of Psychology at Reichman University, as part of its vision to lead innovation and apply socially valuable research.
The research is led by an interdisciplinary team of senior researchers with expertise in the psychology of trauma, resilience, and entrepreneurship. Alongside them works a dedicated research team, including students who take an active role in the research process.
