AB An understanding of the dynamics related to university spin-off’s survival is acritical point for many scholars and policy makers, especially in the technology transferprocess. Drawing on the population and organizational ecology perspectives and theresource-based view of the firm, this paper aims to investigate the survival determinantsof University Spin-Offs (USOs). After applying event analysis techniques in a crossnational dataset of 1,275 Italian and Spanish USOs over the period 2005-2013, thefindings show that firm size, firm age, industrial partners, and firm efficiency positivelyinfluence USOs’ survival, whereas patent activity decreases USOs’ chances to survive.Additionally, a U-shaped relationship between financial leverage and USOs’ survivalemerges. Based on the emerging evidence, some policy and managerial implications areprovided in order to help USOs to cross their “Valley of Death”.
