Abstract
Scholars have yet to, beyond a few exceptions, empirically focus on the role of women in academic entrepreneurship, the establishment of spinoff companies based on technologies derived from university research. Following a recent literature review, this paper investigates the extent to which gender, along with academic culture, explain network evolution. It does so by conceptualizing entrepreneurial culture in terms of social embeddedness, the collective ability of social networks to support academic entrepreneurship, and by parsing social embeddedness into academic and gendered network perspectives. The paper finds multiple network-related enablers and barriers may exist simultaneously. Implications for research and policy are discussed.
