Initial human and financial capital as predictors of new venture performance

Cooper, A. C., Gimeno-Gascon, F. J., & Woo, C. Y. (1994)

Journal of Business Venturing, 9(5), 371-395

Longitudinal study of 1,053 new ventures across sectors and regions predicting failure, marginal survival or high growth from initial human and financial capital. General human capital and industry-specific know-how matter; management know-how has more limited impact. Included as the human capital benchmark that acquisition studies borrow from.
