These spinouts represent a type of organizational structure through which knowledge is shared and transferred between vertically related industries. We propose that a key determinant of both their formation and their successful performance is the contextual knowledge that they inherit from their pre-entry experience in a vertically related industry. We examine spinout entry and performance in three vertically related industries over a 10-year period: semiconductors, telecommunications equipment, and telecommunications networks/connectivity. Our results show that vertical spinouts constitute a significant share of startups in these related industries and that they are more likely to survive than other de novo entrants. We discuss the implications of our findings for the literatures on entrepreneurship and industry dynamics. 000047777 542__ $$fhttps://academic.oup.com/pages/using-the-content/citation 000047777 590__ $$aPublished online: 2019 000047777 650_0 $$aInnovation 000047777 650_0 $$aTechnology 000047777 650_0 $$aIntellectual property 000047777 650_0 $$aEntrepreneurship 000047777 7001_ $$aAdams, Pamela,$$vauthor. 000047777 7001_ $$aMalerba, Franco,$$eauthor. 000047777 7001_ $$aFontana, Roberto,$$eauthor. 000047777 7731_ $$tIndustrial and Corporate Change,$$wINCC 000047777 830_0 $$aIndustrial and Corporate Change$$vINCC 2019, 28(3), 529-550 000047777 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1093/icc/dtz014$$yRead the Article 000047777 904__ $$aArticle 000047777 980__ $$aINCC
