“…In order to increase the likelihood of success of internal startups, the phenomenon should be further studied. As especially empirical studies into the utilization of these methods are lacking [8], we take on an empirical approach in this particular study. Due to the novelty of the subject area, we chose to utilize an exploratory, qualitative approach, by means of a multiple case study of three internal startups.…”

“…In our previous work [6] the success of a startup was defined as a function of business idea, business model, project development and customer interaction: S=Δf(BI)+Δf(BM) +Δf(PD)+Δf(CI) Where S= Success, BI= Business Idea, BM= Business model, PD= Project Development and CI= Customer Interaction. This means that any alteration to the Business Idea, Business Model, Project Development and Customer Interaction will improve the level of Success.…”

The main principle of the Lean Startup movement is that static business planning should be replaced by a dynamic development, where products, services, business model elements, business objectives and activities are frequently changed based on constant customer feedback. Our ambition is to empirically measure if such changes of the business idea, the business model elements, the project management and close interaction with customers really increases the success rate of entrepreneurs, and in what way. Our first paper; "Does Lean Startup really work? -Foundation for an empirical study" presented the first attempt to model the relations we want to measure. This paper will focus on how to build and set up a test harness (from now on called the Entrepreneurship Platform or EP) to gather empirical data from Companies and how to store these data together with demographical and financial data from the PROFF-portal in the Entrepreneurial Data Warehouse (from now called the EDW). We will end the paper by discussing the potential methodological problems with our method, before we document a test run of our set-up to verify that we are actually able to populate the Data Warehouse with time series data.

Startups is a popular phenomenon that has a significant impact on global economy growth, innovation and society development. However, there is still insufficient understanding about startups, particularly, how to start a new business in the relation to consequent performance. Toward this knowledge, we have performed an empirical study regarding the differences between a Resource and Competence View (Internal) vs Environment and Market View (External) when defining a Business. 701 entrepreneurs have reflected on their startups on nine classes of Resources (values, vision, personal objectives, employees and partners, buildings and rental contracts, cash and credit, patents, IPR's and brands, products and services and finally revenues and grants) and three elements of the Business Mission ("KeyContribution", "KeyMarket" and "Distinction"). It seems to be a tendency to favour the Internal View over the External View. This tendency is clearer in Stable Economies (Europe) than in Emerging Economies (South Africa). There seems to be a co-variation between the tendency to favour the Internal View and the tendency to focus on adding Resources. Finally, we found that an order-based analysis seems to explain the differences between the two views better than a number-based method.
