Enterprise capacity to adapt to the market does not depend only on competence; it can be achieved using inter-entrepreneurial cooperation mechanisms, allowing important advantages to small new organizations. An example of this process is offered by nature. This study uses as main methodology the development of biological metaphor to demonstrate how through cooperation and inter-entrepreneurial co-evolution is possible that small companies achieve competitive advantages. The transcendence that new entrepreneurs understand new organizational forms of cooperation and co-evolution from successful biological models and the importance of their adaptation so new entrepreneurial forms can be arise.

Keywords : Organizational ecosystems; Cooperation; Co-evolution; Entrepreneurial integration.
