In the dynamic landscape of contemporary business, achieving entrepreneurial resilience is an important goal for organizations facing unprecedented challenges. This study investigates the complex interactions between ambidextrous leadership, entrepreneurial mindfulness, and the mediating mechanisms of business model innovation capacity in fostering entrepreneurial resilience. This research uses a quantitative approach with the population of the startup community in Indonesia. A sample of 340 startup actors was selected randomly. Data was collected via a Likert Scale questionnaire with a scale range of 1-6. Hypothesis testing was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Partial Least Squares (PLS) to overcome model complexity and small sample size. Findings support the relationship between entrepreneurial alertness, ambidextrous leadership, business model innovation capacity, and entrepreneurial resilience. The theoretical implications enrich the literature by introducing mediating variables and leading to the development of a more comprehensive theoretical model. The practical implications highlight the importance of leadership development and business innovation to improve adaptation and response to change. Policy implications emphasize the need for policy support to strengthen entrepreneurship and innovation in the national economy.
