A typology of technology‐based entrepreneurs

Abstract

Despite increasing evidence of the use of typologies in entrepreneurship research, comparatively little work has attempted to distinguish between different types of technical entrepreneur. Aims to develop such a typology. Examines previous research into the organizational backgrounds from which technical entrepreneurs have emerged to form new ventures. Follows this with an analysis of detailed qualitative interviews administered to a sample of technical entrepreneurs in the United Kingdom, which leads to the formulation of a typology of technical entrepreneurs based on their previous occupations and, in particular, on the role played by the technical entrepreneurs in the development of technology with past employers.
