Theoretical perspective: The study is based on previous research about the early phases of new ventures, the importance of networking, and research about how digitalization may contribute to new ventures’ ability to discover and exploit entrepreneurial opportunities.
Results: The empirical material consists of data about new ventures' processes of discovering and exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities.

The result further shows that new ventures without previous experience tend to have a wider use of digital solutions, and use it to a greater extent. (Less)
