An entrepreneur's networking with a potential investor was also found to benefit the coupling between financing and innovation in the startup, as expected. The literal meaning of 'entrepreneur' is going in between and taking a benefit, and in our study the entrepreneur is going between an investor and a researcher, and combining advice or investment from the former with advice or new idea from the latter, and thereby promotes a coupling of financing and innovation, a synergy that builds a capability and a competitive advantage. ./cache/cord-027851-95bsoea2.txt ./txt/cord-027851-95bsoea2.txt
