Abstract
Spinouts are startups founded by employees of established firms in the same industry. Spinouts inherit technological and market-related knowledge from their parent companies. In contrast, non-spinout startups that do not have such close connections to an industry incumbent firm will have a different endowment of technological and market knowledge. Given this contrast between different startups in a risky science-based industry such as biotechnology, we explore whether spinout startups are different from non-spinouts in how control rights are allocated in strategic alliances. We develop a predictive model to distinguish whether an alliance is a spinout startup or a non-spinout startup.
