This paper examines the interrelation between the characteristics of start-up firms and urban structure. The authors classify such firms in different industry groups according to their complexity and analyze the impact of regional input market thickness on the frequency of start-ups of different degrees of complexity. The findings indicate that thicker input markets foster more complex start-ups. In particular, the density of human capital, and research and development are positively correlated with more complex start-up operations.
