Resumo: | The purpose of this research is to identify the main driver for Portuguese startups between team oriented factors and product/market oriented factors. Given the importance of startups in the economic growth of modern economies - in job creation or innovation, it is crucial to identify what drives startup success and how it differs between ecosystems. We aim at understand the characteristics of the Portuguese entrepreneurial ecosystem and compare the Portuguese environment with startup ecosystems in the USA and in Germany. First in terms of strengths and areas for improvement of the national ecosystem, and second on the critical factors for success in the perspective of entrepreneurs. The research was developed through survey interviews in which was asked to 92 entrepreneurs from Portuguese startups that participated in Web Summit 2016 to rank ecosystem factors in terms of satisfaction and importance to success. In this study, the factors that affect the startup ecosystems are analyzed and compared, suggesting that the Portuguese ecosystem for startups has a favorable human capital pool and a conductive culture that fosters entrepreneurship. On the other hand, should improve government policy and support from accelerators and incubators. The Portuguese entrepreneurial ecosystem, even though mixed in terms of primary driver for success, is mainly driven by people factors, being key in this ecosystem to access and capture talented people, but also to access international markets. It is found that ecosystems conditions are favorable to the main drivers for success in the perspective of entrepreneurs. |

Dada a importância das startups no crescimento económico nas economias modernas, seja por criação de emprego ou inovação, é crucial identificar o que leva as startups ao sucesso e como isso difere entre ecossistemas. Pretende-se perceber as características do ecossistema português para o empreendedorismo, comparando-o com ecossitemas de startups nos EUA e na Alemanha. Esta comparação é feita em termos de forças e áreas a melhorar no ecossistema nacional e posteriormente, em termos de fatores críticos para o sucesso na perspectiva do empreendedor. O estudo foi desenvolvido através da resposta a questionários feitos a 92 empreendedores de startups portuguesas que participaram na Web Summit 2016, para que avaliassem fatores do ecossistema, em termos da sua satisfação e importância para o sucesso. Neste estudo, os fatores que afetam o ecossistema de startups são analisados e comparados, sugerindo que o ecossitema português de startups tem capital humano favorável e normas culturais que fomentam empreendedorismo. Por outro lado, devem ser melhoradas políticas governamentais e apoio por parte de aceleradoras e incubadoras. O ecossistema português de empreendedorismo, apesar de misto em termos do principal condutor para o sucesso, é fundamentalmente impulsionado por fatores humanos, sendo essencial o acesso e retenção de pessoas talentosas mas também o accesso a mercados internacionais. Por fim, é exposto que as condições do ecossitema asseguram de forma satisfatória os fatores mais importantes para o sucesso de startups.Costa, Cláudia Isabel de SousaVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaParracho, André Rodrigues2017-03-17T11:00:29Z2017-02-1720172017-02-17T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/21833TID:201667258enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:27:59Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/21833Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:18:10.097821Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
