Abstract
This paper analyzes the determinants of start-up satisfaction of nascent entrepreneurs. Using a large sample of nascent entrepreneurs in Germany, we identify a group of nascent entrepreneurs that “cannot get satisfaction” with their start-up, not because their start-up fails to deliver financial returns, but because they did not choose to become entrepreneurs in the first place. This group of unsatisfied entrepreneurs includes individuals starting a business after a period of long-term unemployment and those individuals with a lack of better employment alternatives (necessity entrepreneurs).
