Comments: The awards committee applauds the novel combination of archival and experimental analyses to complement one another in this paper; a very exciting and thorough empirical approach. The author(s) expose and explain subtle individual- and dyadic-level heuristics that exist in funding contests, which is something that both OB and entrepreneurship audiences would find theoretically interesting and practically relevant.
