Abstract(s)
As spin-offs académicas (ASO) são um fenómeno complexo, multidimensional, de elevado risco e cuja sobrevivência e desempenho são influenciados por fatores de natureza distinta.
Entre a fase de investigação e a entrada no mercado têm que enfrentar uma grande diversidade de desafios e de riscos entre os quais um dos mais importantes é assegurar os recursos adequados para o seu desenvolvimento.
Este artigo analisa a influência do capital humano das equipas de fundadores no desempenho das ASO, constructo multidimensional que integra nove fatores relacionados com a qualificação, formação, experiência e dimensão das equipas.
Através de uma combinação de dados recolhidos por questionário em 42 spin-offs portuguesas criadas entre os anos de 2005 e 2008, foram testadas oito hipóteses.
Os resultados permitiram encontrar suporte empírico para a correlação positiva entre o capital humano das equipas de fundadores e o desempenho das ASO nos anos iniciais após a sua criação.

This paper analyzes the influence of human capital of founding teams in the performance of ASO, a multidimensional construct which integrates eight factors related to the qualifications, training, experience and size of the teams. Through a combination of data collected by questionnaire in 42 Portuguese Spin-offs, created between the years 2005 and 2008, eight hypotheses were tested. The results have shown empirical support to the positive correlation between the human capital of the founding team and the performance of ASO in the early years after its creation.
