Abstract

This paper will analyze the startup as a buying firm in the buyer-supplier relationship. When trying to become an interesting customer to large suppliers, startups may have limitations to establish a business relationship. As startups are new and small, they could be perceived as not attractive, or do not have enough attractiveness to start the relationship. Therefore, a literature-based framework for explaining startup attractiveness will be proposed.
