Our results show that in the start-up stage, strong ties of team members are more effective than weak ties on the activation of the external social capital. With the deepening of the entrepreneurial process, the weak ties are becoming more effective on the activation of external social capital. Furthermore, personal social networks sharing and mastering more structural holes are favor for the acquisition and integration of external social capital.
