Abstract: This paper aims to contribute to knowledge on start-up cluster development by describing the core resource configurations in the development trajectory of start-up clusters in an emergent country. This research involves two start-up clusters in the Brazilian context. The results provide a framework formed by four stages that indicates the trajectory of start-up cluster development from the basic level, in which the most evident resources are tangible and endogenous, to the more advanced level, which comprises intangible and exogenous resources. In the fourth stage, start-up clusters improve resources, such as quality of life, cultural diversity and political and economic conditions to foster entrepreneurship and innovation.
