Abstract

This chapter examines the growing visibility and importance of startup companies in the global economy. Drawing on field research in the San Francisco Bay Area, the chapter examines the role of four types of business development organization in spurring the globalization of high potential startups: Business Incubators, Business Accelerators, International Bridge Organizations, and Corporate Innovation Centers. The chapter augments the scholarly literature on global startups by (1) developing a typology of business development organizations dedicated to speeding the globalization of startup companies; (2) using the results of preliminary field research to assess the relative effectiveness of these organizations; and (3) formulating a conceptual model to guide future research on startup globalization.
