“…This reflection implies taking into account the evolution of entrepreneurial ecosystems. These change over time and the nature of the resources they may be able to provide also evolves (Audretsch et al, 2021;Gueguen, 2020).…”

“…In addition, research positioned at the micro level, intending to highlight the specific characteristics of different actors found in entrepreneurial ecosystems, has recently been identified as important for the field to pursue (Audretsch et al, 2021;Iacobucci and Perugini, 2021;Wurth et al, 2021). The idea is to go beyond broad and global approaches to better understand the nature of the interactions present within entrepreneurial ecosystems (Iacobucci and Perugini, 2021) by considering the specificities of the various actors involved (Canovas-Saiz et al, 2021;Gueguen, 2020). The networking behavior of firms is key to understanding both the performance of specific firms and the functioning of the overall entrepreneurial ecosystem.…”

PurposeEntrepreneurial ecosystems provide the context for start-ups to access resources. The authors investigate the reliance of start-ups on their entrepreneurial ecosystem and the driving factors behind the proportion of local actors (belonging to their entrepreneurial ecosystem) within their overall set of relationships (their business ecosystem). Recognizing the limited relational capacity of firms, the authors focus on three differentiating firm characteristics: size, age and innovation of firms.Design/methodology/approachThe authors developed a sample of 163 start-ups located in the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Toulouse, France. The authors investigated the characteristics of their relationship sets using regression analysis.FindingsThe results confirm that age is inversely related to the proportion of a start-up's relationships located in its entrepreneurial ecosystem. More surprisingly, for older start-ups, the authors also highlight the presence of a moderating effect of the start-up's size on the relationship between its degree of innovation and the proportion of its relationships in its entrepreneurial ecosystem: Larger and more innovative start-ups appear to rely more on their local entrepreneurial ecosystem.Originality/valueThis research increases the understanding of the characteristics driving the interactions of start-ups with their entrepreneurial ecosystems by adopting a relational capacity approach. The authors introduce digital methods as an innovative approach for uncovering firms' ecosystems. Finally, from a practical point of view, the research should provide public authorities seeking to promote the link between local resources and the development of innovative start-ups in their regions with interesting insights.
