Popis: This study conceptualizes founding team human capital with three multi–item scales that are related to critical functional areas in new service ventures: marketing capabilities, market–linking capabilities, and service design capabilities. We develop and empirically test a theoretical framework linking founding team capabilities to service venture performance through two strategic positional advantages: scalability and protectability. Our results provide insight into previous inconsistent findings regarding founding teams’ impact on new venture performance, offer important managerial implications, and point to future research directions.
