Abstract: This "real time" longitudinal study of Canadian nascent entrepreneurs focuses on the relationship between start-up activities and outcomes. It is part of a larger international project being conducted by the Entrepreneurial Research Consortium (ERC) to better understand the start-up process. Results document considerable volatility in the outcomes reported from year to year and indicate that sustainable operating ventures can be distinguished from others according to the activities undertaken during start-up. The pattern and timing of activities by outcome status are discussed, as well as the implications for policy and practice.
