To evaluate the potential for innovation in the existing startup scholarly literature, we conducted a study and a survey. The business implications on startups because of information transfer from scholarly papers are used to assess innovation potential. The multimethodology discovered that knowledge transmission from scholarly literature to the startup community is limited, as evidenced by their high failure rates, indicating that there are disconnections between them that obstruct knowledge transfer. The explanations are based on disparately dispersed knowledge across numerous bibliographic venues, unique constraints faced by startup communities, including limited resources and dynamism in the environment, and perceptual beliefs about the contrasts in researcher and entrepreneur roles. Finally, the methods for connecting researchers, publishing venues, and entrepreneurs in order to enhance knowledge transfer are discussed. More collaborative research, the dissemination of industrial research, an adaptation of the citation framework, an emphasis on open entrepreneurship, a change in review criteria, an emphasis on venues for practice, and open innovation by involving experts, particularly university libraries, are all core component of the proposed solution.
