与已有的创业研究不同，基于设计的创业明确强调创业过程是渐进的和新兴的，在这个过程中，通过设计和评估替代解决方案，逐步获得对机会的知识和理解。本文开发了BioBeats Ltd.的用例，这是一家总部位于英国的大学分支机构，成功地将数字健康领域的机会转变为商业上可行的企业。研究中的公司采用了基于设计的范式，首先构建了一套以一套设计原则为基础的技术解决方案，这些原则随后允许公司将机会的社会技术性质转化为技术制品，并通过与第三方和公民的真实世界实验进一步完善和测试。
Departing from established research on entrepreneurship, design-based entrepreneurship places an explicit emphasis on the entrepreneurial process as evolutionary and emergent in which knowledge and understanding of an opportunity are acquired incrementally by means of design and evaluation of alternative solutions. This paper develops a use case of BioBeats Ltd., a UK-based university spin-off which has successfully managed to turn an opportunity in digital health into a commercially viable enterprise. Adopting a design-based paradigm, the company under study started by building a technical solution informed by a set of design principles which subsequently allowed the company to convert the socio-technical nature of the opportunity into technological artefacts that were further refined and tested by means of real-world experiments with third parties and citizens.
