Resumo(s)
This study investigates the effects of venture
typology, race, ethnicity, and past venture experience on
the social capital distribution of women entrepreneurs in
entrepreneurial ecosystems. Social network data from
two municipal ecosystems in Florida, USA (Gainesville
and Jacksonville), suggest that network connectivity and
the distribution of social capital are significantly different
for men and women entrepreneurs. This difference is
contingent on the venture type.Male entrepreneurs show
higher comparative scores of bridging social capital in
aggressive- and managed-growth venture networks,
while women entrepreneurs surpass their male counterparts’
bridging capital scores in lifestyle and survival
venture networks. Lastly, experienced women entrepreneurs
that self-identified as white showed a higher degree
of network connectivity and bridging social capital
in the entrepreneurial ecosystem than less experienced
non-white female entrepreneurs. Implications for entrepreneurship
practice and new research paths are discussed.
