    The resource-based view (RBV) suggests strategic resources, which are valuable, rare, and difficult to substitute or imitate, are sources of competitive advantage that can contribute to venture outcomes. However, the empirical findings on the impacts of strategic resources on venture outcomes are inconclusive. This might be because previous research has devoted limited attention to the potential interdependencies between different resources and the environmental contingency that might influence the value of resources. Using a configurational approach, we explore how strategic resources (intellectual property) interact with versatile resources (human and financial capital) to explain venture growth under different environments. We applied fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) on a four-year longitudinal dataset consisting of 825 firms. Our findings show strategic resources alone are not sufficient to explain venture growth, and ventures need to complement strategic resources with versatile resources such as human capital and financial capital for venture growth. Moreover, we uncover the environmental contingency that can influence the value of resources such that environmental munificence can compensate for a venture’s lack of financial capital. Our findings contribute to the RBV and human capital literature, as well as offering guidelines for entrepreneurs on how to configure resources for venture growth.
