Abstract
The creation of start-ups is often aimed at commercializing science-based technologies (Pries & Guild, 2007; Shane, 2004; Wright, Clarysse, Mustar, & Lockett, 2007) and keeping control of them (Siegel, Waldman, Atwater, & Link, 2004). However, due to a high rate of failure, it is particularly hard to predict whether or not start-ups will succeed in commercializing their technology. Several barriers have emerged over time at individual, financial, organizational and technological levels (Markman, Siegel, & Wright, 2008).
