El emprendimiento social constituye una vía para abordar problemas sociales mediante iniciativas que combinan objetivos económicos y creación de valor social. Este trabajo analiza la relación entre la tendencia a la innovación social (TIS) y la intención de emprendimiento social (INES), considerando el papel mediador de las redes de emprendimiento social (RES) desde la Teoría del Capital Social. El estudio se realizó con una muestra de 263 estudiantes universitarios mexicanos. Las hipótesis se contrastaron mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales basado en covarianzas (CB-SEM). Los resultados muestran un efecto positivo y significativo de TIS sobre INES y de RES sobre INES. Asimismo, RES media significativamente la relación entre TIS e INES. Estos resultados muestran que la formación de intenciones de emprendimiento social no depende únicamente de orientaciones individuales, sino también de los recursos y relaciones a los que tienen acceso los potenciales emprendedores. El estudio contribuye a delimitar TIS como antecedente de INES e incorpora una explicación relacional de este proceso. Los resultados también plantean implicaciones para las universidades y otros agentes implicados en el desarrollo de ecosistemas de emprendimiento social.
