Abstract (ENG): Digital start-ups have become major promoters of jobs, wealth, innovation, and prosperity. Nonetheless, despite their economic importance their concept is still ambiguous because research on the topic is novel and scarce. Therefore, based on an entrepreneurial journey approach we opted to synthesize the accumulated knowledge so far in the field. Using a methodical search protocol, we picked 23 papers and conducted a domain-based review of the structured theme-based kind. Thus, we found three major research streams: enhancing the theory of digital start-ups (3 papers); Lean Start-up Methodology for digital start-ups (7 papers); and growth strategies for digital start-ups (13 papers). However, since the sample of articles is relatively small combined with the notion that entrepreneurship research has lagged sometimes behind practice, we validated our findings with expert interviews. Overall, in this article we were able to define all stages of the digital entrepreneurial journey and distinguish between them.
