This paper examines the relationship between organization design determinants and innovation performance in a sample of 89 Indian startup organizations, which were at least two years old. Five factors i.e. strategic orientation, top management style, organization structure, practices and culture and effective management of innovation were chosen to determine the organization design of startups. It was found that out of five factors, strategic orientation and practices & culture had significant association with the ability to innovate of the startup firm. Logistic regression was the tool used to identify this association.
