ABSTRAKPenelitian ini mengeksplorasi tipologi jaringan sosial para pendiri perusahaan rintisan dan kerangka institusional yang membentuk tindakan perusahaan rintisan di inkubator Bandung Digital Valley, Kota Bandung, Jawa Barat. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Teori Institusionalisme Baru yang dirumuskan oleh Victor Nee. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif yang menggunakan pendekatan Extended Case Method. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan pengamatan dan wawancara mendalam terhadap informan kunci, yaitu manajemen inkubator Bandung Digital Valley dan para pendiri perusahaan-perusahaan rintisan yang diinkubasi di sana. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa institusi formal yang membentuk tindakan perusahaan rintisan di Bandung Digital Valley berupa kebijakan pemerintah, birokrasi, hak kekayaan intelektual, dan kontrak. Institusi informal tidak secara jelas mengemuka dalam studi ini, sehingga yang terjadi adalah keselarasan (close-coupling) antara institusi formal dalam bentuk norma organisasi inkubator dan institusi informal yang dihasilkan dari mekanisme sosial antar pendiri perusahaan rintisan. Yang mengemuka justru tipologi jaringan sosial, baik internal maupun eksternal, sebagai strategi dari pendiri perusahaan rintisan dalam merespons target-target dan norma organisasi di Bandung Digital Valley.
