Abstract
Even if in a traditional perspective the discovery and the exploitation of opportunities are
associated to the entrepreneur capabilities, a relational perspective is required to better analyze the
phenomenon of starting up a new venture. The growing attention to interaction with the external
environment has been emerging as a necessary precondition of the entrepreneurial processes as it creates the
knowledge and the experience necessary to perceive the opportunity. The entrepreneurial opportunities are
created through joint acts with others through social relationships. Shifting the attention from social to
business relationships, the main aim of this paper is to investigate the discovery and the exploitation of
collective entrepreneurial opportunities in starting up new business. In particular, the purpose of this paper is
to analyze the role of relational proximity in this entrepreneurial journey considered as an emergent process
of transforming potentiality into actuality
