AB  - The majority of leadership and entrepreneurial literature affirms the importance of vision in
entrepreneurship. However, to date, there is an absence of research that sufficiently describes the
evolution of entrepreneurial vision in nascent stage entrepreneurship. This paper explores the
evolution of nascent stage entrepreneurial vision. Participants in a pre-seed accelerator program,
in Lisbon, Portugal reported on their entrepreneurial journey as it unfolded over one-week of
entrepreneurial activity. Utilizing an inductive approach that combines the Experience Sampling
Method (ESM) with semi-structured interviews, we investigate how nascent entrepreneurs define
vision, perceive their leadership role, and are influenced by their vision for their ventures.
Findings suggest that 1. entrepreneurial vision in nascent entrepreneurs is perceived as future-oriented,
solution-based, and differentiated outcome-focused. 2. nascent entrepreneurs perceive
themselves to be “Leaders of Vision”. 3. five emerging realities influence the evolution of
nascent stage entrepreneurial vision: customer reality, technological reality, social reality, self-sovereign
reality, and competitive reality. These findings contribute to the research at the
intersection of entrepreneurial leadership and entrepreneurial vision.
