Entrepreneurial firms have long been hailed as the force that stimulates innovations, employment, and economic growth writ large. For these reasons, organization and entrepreneurship scholars have long been interested in the growth of technology firms. Considerable research over the past two decades has drawn scholarly attention to issues relating to how entrepreneurial firms emerge and grow their capabilities through specific organizational structure and processes, which have been found to exert enduring influences on subsequent organizational development. More recently, an emerging body of research has sought to understand the growth and strategy of young firms’ organizational capabilities by examining their human capital growth as well as their strategic moves. In recent years, novel, large-scale, longitudinal datasets have emerged that enabled researchers to adequately track firms’ historical growth trajectories beyond what small hand-collected samples of entrepreneurial firms can reveal. This symposium intends to gather a group of papers that have leveraged such novel, large-scale data to address unanswered questions in the literature regarding the founding patterns of entrepreneurial firms as well as growth strategies adopted by entrepreneurial firms.
