N2 - Effective prototyping is becoming increasingly important in bridging engineering and entrepreneurship. Makerspaces are at the forefront of this development. Drawing from data on an interdisciplinary entrepreneurship program that included peer-reviews and faculty/advisor assessments, we examine how prototyping in combination with team process and composition affect entrepreneurial performance. Our results found that more gender-balanced teams exhibit a higher level of constructive conflict, which leads to higher prototyping efficacy. Prototyping efficacy, in turn, leads to higher entrepreneurial performance. We conclude our study with a discussion of the implications of our findings for entrepreneurship (education).
