Abstract
Utilising a typology based on the previous occupational background of owner‐managers within technology‐based organizations, this article analyses the previous management and technical experiences of a sample of technical entrepreneurs in the UK. Overall, the study concludes that management and technical experience will differ according to occupational background, which may have implications for support provided to small technology‐based firms.Keywords
