We argue that the combination of co-founders’ personal networks forms an impactful network structure between the individual and organizational level: team entrepreneurial network, that is, the team-level configuration of entrepreneurial team members’ individual networks. This team entrepreneurial network is not just a function of networking behavior by a single entrepreneur, but rather reflects the complex interplay of all team members’ networking behaviors: team entrepreneurial networking—the team-level configuration of entrepreneurial team members’ networking activities. We aim to explain how the team entrepreneurial network—a teamlevel social structure—is shaped by team entrepreneurial networking—a team activity, and vice versa. We go on to argue that the team entrepreneurial network influences resource access, and that team entrepreneurial networking shapes this team entrepreneurial network.

Abstract

We argue that the combination of co-founders’ personal networks forms an impactful network structure between the individual and organizational level: team entrepreneurial network, that is, the team-level configuration of entrepreneurial team members’ individual networks. This team entrepreneurial network is not just a function of networking behavior by a single entrepreneur, but rather reflects the complex interplay of all team members’ networking behaviors: team entrepreneurial networking—the team-level configuration of entrepreneurial team members’ networking activities. We aim to explain how the team entrepreneurial network—a teamlevel social structure—is shaped by team entrepreneurial networking—a team activity, and vice versa. We go on to argue that the team entrepreneurial network influences resource access, and that team entrepreneurial networking shapes this team entrepreneurial network.
