Abstract
Empirical findings show that power-law distributions most accurately characterize all revenue-and employee-based outcomes in entrepreneurship. We hypothesize that "opportunity tension" is the mechanism that initiates and perpetuates these distributions. Non-linear tests indicate significant support for our hypothesis, providing a solid foundation for a scale-free theory of new venture performance.
