Abstract: We often talk about David versus Goliath when referring to the relationships between startups and large corporations. Yet David and Goliath find mutual benefits in working together, as evidenced by the continuous growth of startup-large corporation alliances, 87% in 2019 compared to 79% in 2017 (according to Raise and Bain & Company, 2019). The innovative capacity of startups, combined with their speed of execution, indeed prove to be significant assets for large corporations, while the latter provide financial, material, and brand support for the startup. The strategic, technological, and economic interests in terms of innovation have been quite extensively studied in the literature, but not from the perspective of the transfer of legitimacy from one to the other of these two types of companies
