Abstract: This empirical study of 146 U.S. new ventures examines how strategic capabilities mediate the effect of technology-driven strategy on firm performance. The results reveal that technology-driven strategy is positively related to technology capabilities and information technology capabilities, but negatively related to marketing capabilities and market-linking capabilities. Furthermore, all types of strategic capabilities are positively related to firm performance. The findings provide evidence that strategic capabilities play a mediating role between technology-driven strategy and firm performance and show that, like market-driven strategy, technology-driven strategy is also an important and successful founding strategy because it can exert great impact on firm performance through strategic capabilities.
