AB While many universities around the world have devoted resources to create UniversityBusiness Incubators (UBIs), the literature has neglected the study of the social capitalacquired by the entrepreneurs located in university incubators. The current work analyses how incubator managers can contribute to the development of both incubator and incubatee social capital as well as the influence of social capital to the success ofincubatee businesses. The empirical study is based on survey data collected fromincubatees on Spanish and Dutch UBIs. The findings reveal that the entrepreneurialprofile of the university and the incubator manager proactivity are critical to build acollective social capital amongst the entrepreneurs. Results indicate that the collectivesocial capital foster the individual social capital. However, only entrepreneurs’relationships with external agents (bridging social capital) are relevant to their businesses whereas internal relationships (bonding social capital) have not a significant effect.
