Abstract: This study focuses on the role of knowledge capabilities across the startup and growth phases of corporate ventures. Specifically we focus on exploration, exploitation and transformation of (technological) knowledge capabilities as these facilitate birth and growth of corporate ventures. To examine the impact of knowledge capabilities in corporate ventures, in-depth case studies of three knowledge intensive corporate ventures were conducted using semi-structured interviews. Knowledge capabilities were mapped across the startup and growth stages of the ventures.
