Abstract Based on the theory of social embedding, this study analyses the relationship between the strong and weak ties to explain the conflict between the reality and the theory of the social network embeddedness, and reveals its impact on entrepreneurial financing performance. Data mining technology is employed to generate a cross-section database of 1, 517 entrepreneurial projects information and personal information of entrepreneurs. This study finds out that entrepreneurial performance is indirectly influenced by entrepreneurial experience and education level of social network strong-tie members through those of social network weak-tie members. And the entrepreneurs’ education level can reduce their dependence on the relationship between external social networks, so that it plays a moderating role in the relationship between entrepreneurial experience and education level of social network strong-tie and weak-tie members which we have described, and then entrepreneurial performance.
