In the article we address recurring causes of failures in starting up a new company.

The work that we are presenting is in progress but scored the following targets. First, under a theoretical point of view, we laid down borders to define a theoretical territory where the strong connections can be observed that entwine literatures on start-up, on the resource-based view of the firm and system dynamics. Second, we created an experimental laboratory to test individuals’ recurring mistakes when dealing with a start-up. Further developments of this work are in the direction of setting an experimental protocol to conduct empirical research on a sample of players.
