- Abstract
- The emergence of new businesses has become a salient feature of modern society. Although millions of people are engaged in business creation every year, only a small portion of them can successfully create profitable firms while most start-up efforts end in failure. In this paper, I investigate how entrepreneurial teams differ in creating new ventures. I draw ideas from several theoretical perspectives and synthesize them into my theoretical framing to explain how entrepreneurial teams' characteristics, team members' relationships, and start-up activities influence new ventures' survival and performance. The data for my analysis are derived from the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics II, a longitudinal study on a nationally representative sample of business founders who started business ventures around 2005.
