Integrating research on gender and entrepreneurship with that on the cognitive biases exhibited by entrepreneurs, the overarching goal of this paper is to develop and test arguments that challenge women's supposed 'underconfidence' with respect to their entrepreneurial self-efficacy. We describe the two studies that underlie the empirical examination of our conjectures, summarizing and interpreting the findings from Study 1. These results contribute evidence that calls into question common portrayals of women as underconfident with respect to entrepreneurship. Instead, our analysis indicates that females are more likely to be unbiased in this regard whereas males are more likely to be overconfident. We further show that overconfidence has negative implications for the entrepreneurial pivot process. These findings bolster provocations regarding the need for continued skepticism of the 'yardsticks' against which women are typically evaluated in the context of entrepreneurship.
