Abstract

The goal of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the survival of the venture and the corporations' network position in the French corporate venturing network. Using network analysis, we find that big corporations are the central actor in these networks. The findings highlight a negative relation between centrality metrics and the failure rate (which measures the proportion of failed investments). Having many ties can compromise the attention of large corporations on the focal young company. The results suggest that when established companies finance many young companies, they may become too busy to participate effectively to innovative projects.
