Abstract: Although entrepreneurial teams have a direct impact on new ventures and their performance, how they are formed is still under-investigated. Existing research generally infers their formation process from their composition and finds that an interpersonal approach, as opposed to a strategic resource-based approach, is preeminent. This research is based on the analysis of eight entrepreneurial team formation cases and leads to the development, by abductive reasoning, of a model combining the two main theoretical approaches. It suggests that an entrepreneur first forms an awareness set of prospective team members mainly through his/her networks (interpersonal approach). This set is then filtered considering value homophily (interpersonal approach). From the resulting consideration set, the team member(s) are finally chosen based on resource utility (strategic approach).
