Abstract
Sustainable entrepreneurship has emerged as a critical pathway for addressing pressing environmental and societal challenges through innovation-driven market mechanisms. Despite their transformative potential, many sustainability-oriented ventures encounter significant difficulties in achieving scalable growth beyond the nascent stages of development, thereby constraining their long-term socio-economic impact. While prior studies have predominantly concentrated on venture creation, innovation processes, and entrepreneurial intent, limited empirical attention has been devoted to understanding the multidimensional determinants of venture scaling. Accordingly, this study investigates the extent to which strategic orientation, innovation capability, financial resource accessibility, stakeholder collaboration, and institutional conditions influence scaling outcomes within sustainable enterprises
