Abstract

Cet article vise à mieux comprendre comment la finance entrepreneuriale interagit avec les processus complexes de croissance des jeunes entreprises technologiques. Plus spécialement, nous examinons comment les différentes trajectoires de croissance sont façonnées par les interactions des entrepreneurs avec les différentes catégories d'investisseurs : business angels (BAs) et capital-investisseurs (VCs). À travers une étude comparative de cas contrastant-une entreprise engagée dans une dynamique d'hypercroissance et une entreprise ayant connu une croissance modérée – nous montrons que les trajectoires de croissance dépendent fortement de la capacité de l'entrepreneur à obtenir simultanément auprès des BAs et CIs des ressources aussi bien financières que cognitives. Nous montrons que l'aptitude des entrepreneurs à agir ainsi, dépend de leurs caractéristiques psychologiques et cognitives spécifiques aussi bien que de leur processus de prise de décision.
