Sandip,
I can give you plenty of gaming simulation data for this research, which you can use either to generate hypotheses or to test hypotheses. I have over 500 periods of data on over 250 companies.
You will need theory for your research. A starting point may be to consider the extent to which the ownership advantage of the parent is transferable to the venture at startup, and the extent to which the learning of each interferes constructively or destructively with the learning of the other after startup.
Drop me a line if interested.

Subject: [ENTREP] Backgrounds of Venture Founders
Hi all,
I am interested in researching the effects of parent firms that spawn entrepreneurial ventures on the subsequent performance of the ventures. For this purpose, I need to construct an employment history of the founding members of ventures founded durng a particular time period and in a particular industry. I am inclined towards studying the biotech industry during 1993-2003 (approx.) but could focus on another industry (or even multiple industries) if data considerations warrant doing so. Could anyone suggest databases that provide data on founding teams of ventures in any particular industry and the previous employment of the founders. Alternatively, information on databases that track executive migration within a particular industry will also be appreciated as that could partially address my issues as well.
Thanks for any information.
Best Regards,
Sandip Basu
