This thesis examines the relationship between a prior opportunity's originality and a subsequent opportunity's originality as well as between a prior opportunity's business value and a subsequent opportunity's business value. Additionally, the impacts of human and social capital components on these relationships are analyzed. Based on an experiment with entrepreneurial founder teams, results indicate that team size, entrepreneurial experience, boundary spanning, and cohesion reinforce or attenuate the main effects. This thesis contributes to research on opportunity recognition, creativity, and human and social capital.
