The Causes and Consequences of the Initial Network Positions of New Organizations: From Whom Do Entrepreneurs Receive Investments?
Abstract
This paper examines the mechanisms by which new organizations establish their initial network positions, or sets of network ties from which their future tie networks evolve. I develop hypotheses from two competing logics, one based on the effects of previously developed network ties and the human capital of a new organization's founders and the other based on the effects of a new organization's early accomplishments. I test these logics in a study of 92 Internet security ventures forming ties by receiving investments from venture capitalists and other investment organizations between 2000 and 2005. In contrast to how the network positions of established organizations evolve, I find that new organizations forming their first ties early obtain their initial network positions through their founders' ties and human capital, while new organizations forming their first ties later achieve their initial network positions through their organizational accomplishments.

“An organization’s ability to form network ties, and thus alter its network position, is restricted by its attractiveness to potential partners (Eisenhardt and Schoonhoven, 1996).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
