Resumo: The evolvement of unicorns has accelerated considerably in Europe in recent years. As there is still little literature on success factors compared to conventional start-ups, this study focuses on the impact of the reputation of early-stage investors, strategic investors, the university attended by the founders, the influence of innovation hubs and previous entrepreneurial experience. The results of the study suggest that, after applying a regression model, the university attended by the founders and the involvement of corporate venture capitalists are statistically significant differentiators. In contrast to literature, the reputation of early-stage investors, innovation hubs and serial founders are not significant.

As there is still little literature on success factors compared to conventional start-ups, this study focuses on the impact of the reputation of early-stage investors, strategic investors, the university attended by the founders, the influence of innovation hubs and previous entrepreneurial experience. The results of the study suggest that, after applying a regression model, the university attended by the founders and the involvement of corporate venture capitalists are statistically significant differentiators.
