| description | Nonprofit entrepreneurs face a number of liabilities that are particularly significant during the emergent phase of a new nonprofit. Using a human capital perspective, this study examines the influence previous experience plays as it relates to nonprofit organizational start-up success.

The results, however, show that prior start-up experience significantly enhances the likelihood of start-up success. |
