Description
Founding a new venture is an uncertain endeavor, with most start-ups statistically doomed to failure. Pivoting, the structured course correction to test new fundamental hypotheses is crucial for the survival of new ventures. This study examines how eight early-stage digital ventures in the financial services industry orchestrate their digital resources to pivot and ensure viability. Five key processes of digital resource orchestration are identified: scrounging, interfacing, optimizing, elevating, and reconstructing. The study discusses how these processes enhance our understanding of digital entrepreneurship and the stage-setting role of digital resources in the early stages of venture development.
