<p>What makes one specific Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (EE) more conducive to entrepreneurial activity than another? We mobilize ecosystem and network theories to describe EE processual patterns having an impact on Entrepreneurial Dynamics outcomes. We targeted low-income environments to identify the EE effect. An empirical and exploratory research was conducted based on quantitative graph theory, using big data from the scraping of 1,302 web-based articles about 185 organizations. We found that Morocco’s disaggregated ecosystem, compared to Madagascar’s denser and more modular ecosystem, explains the significant difference of entrepreneurial dynamics between the two countries. It reduces the availability of Entrepreneurial Ecosystem components for Entrepreneurs. These results indicate a process of ecosystem discontinuity that has a negative impact on the associated entrepreneurial dynamics.</p>
