Support systems for early venturing efforts need to be harmonious with the emergent nature of those efforts. With current literature treating the conceptions of new ventures as exogenous, there has been limited focus on the transition of venturing efforts from nebulous, open-ended, and accidental toward becoming scalable, focused, and deliberate. We develop a dynamic model for organizing support systems for the early phases of new-venture creation, where scattered ideas evolve into venture concepts as tokens, frames, and premises for further action. By viewing venturing efforts and opportunities as emergent and drawing on the literature on complexity and organizational space, we propose openness, self-selection, visibility, and connectivity as the defining characteristics for organizing support systems. In contrast to literature's predominant focus on a predictive, linear approach, we expand the theoretical scope of support systems to include organizing that is more attuned to the uncertain and nonlinear nature of new venture creation that they support. Our work has broader implications for organizing uncertain early-phase development processes.

迎接创业机会的出现：组织早期创业支持系统

早期创业努力的支持系统需要与这些努力的紧急性质相协调。由于当前的文献将新企业的概念视为外生的，因此很少关注风险投资从模糊、开放和偶然向可扩展、集中和深思熟虑的转变。我们开发了一个动态模型，用于在新企业创建的早期阶段组织支持系统，其中分散的想法演变为风险概念，作为进一步行动的代币、框架和前提。通过将冒险努力和机会视为新兴的，并借鉴有关复杂性和组织空间的文献，我们建议将开放性、自我选择、可见性和连通性作为组织支持系统的定义特征。与文学相比 由于主要关注预测性的线性方法，我们扩展了支持系统的理论范围，以包括更适应它们支持的新企业创建的不确定性和非线性性质的组织。我们的工作对组织不确定的早期开发过程具有更广泛的影响。
