Despite the lack of resources, entrepreneurial firms are able to expand internationally from an early stage of establishment. This study aims to explore and identify the drives of expansion for international entrepreneurial firms. This study employed a multi-case analysis approach through in-depth interviews to identify the drivers of international expansion of such firms. Based on our findings we propose a model to enrich the current understanding on the factors that drive young entrepreneurial firms’ expansion to international markets. JEL: L10; L20; M16; F22
