| Résumé : | Corporate-sponsored accelerators have become an important source of support for entrepreneurial ventures, especially in Europe. One of their key challenges is selecting adequate ventures to support. We study in depth corporate accelerators’ selection process through a qualitative approach based on 34 interviews from seven accelerators in France and Germany. Our analysis identifies distinct practices and specific patterns in their selection process. By mobilizing agency theory, we propose theoretical explanations as to why specific selection approaches favor particular goals, whether co-development of innovations, financial upside, or diffusion of technology platforms. We contribute to extending entrepreneurial support and entrepreneurial finance literatures. |
