Abstract

Drawing on a configurational perspective, this study examines how work experience, entrepreneurial experience, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and high-growth motivation combine to produce high levels of resilience among startup founders. We analyze data from 128 founders participating in Lanzadera startup accelerator. We identify five distinct sufficient configurations for high resilience: three among high risk-takers and two among low risk-takers. This study advances a configurational understanding of entrepreneurial resilience by demonstrating that resilience emerges not from isolated traits or additive resource effects but from equifinal resource combinations whose efficacy depends on risk-taking propensity.
