This article investigates how entrepreneurs manage uncertainty and learning in partnerships between startups and large firms. Using a qualitative longitudinal retrospective methodology, including documentary analysis and multiple case studies, it explores the processes entrepreneurs use to handle perceived uncertainty during such partnerships. The results show that entrepreneurs employ various strategies to frame uncertainty as either an opportunity or threat, identify barriers in open innovation partnerships, and learn through uncertainty management.
