abstract = {Software start-ups have gained attention from the
software engineering research community in the recent
past. However, the systematic adoption of existing
engineering practices for use in start-ups has not
attracted that much attention. The smooth
transitioning towards software product lines in
particular can be a major stumbling block for
start-ups that must broaden their product portfolio
to deal with divergent demands imposed by the market
and the costs of maintaining their products. We
conducted a preliminary study within two software
start-ups, which revealed the motivating factors and
benefits that would lead to the migration from a
single product into a product line. Despite the
benefits, tackling the challenges foreseen and the
identification of features and their relations in the
current product is the crucial first step towards
implementing an appropriate highly-configurable
product portfolio.},
