Resumo: | When following “The Lean Startup” (TLS) methodology, described by Eric Ries, startups are expected to have higher chances of success than conventional startups. The following study is the first attempt to empirically assess TLS approach macroscopic impact on startups’ death rates in the Lisbon’s ecosystem. A survey with validated “leanness” measuring scale, was used to classify startups. A local startup database, built using mainly online resources, diffused the survey through out Lisbon’s established startups. In addition, several semi-structured interviews were held with local entrepreneurship experts to complement quantitative findings. Lisbon’s “Lean” startups’ death rates were compared against “non-Lean” startups. No meaningful correlation between TLS usage and lower startups’ death rates were found. Additionally, studying TLS methodology adoption rates in Lisbon was not possible due to sample size limitations. Furthermore, no connection between increased investor’s confidence towards “Lean” investment opportunities was qualitatively found, neither have experts stood behind standardized metrics to monitor startups’ progress. Startups’ information is scattered and outdated, rendering research challenging and time-consuming. Startups struggle to standout from small businesses also riding the entrepreneurial hype, forming a foggy entrepreneurial hotspot. A startup certification process would be invaluable to highlight, accurately entitle fiscal benefits, increase investors’ exposure and monitor real startups’ progress. The developed “Leanness” scale could also be used to measure how much startups actually follow TLS methodology. Further groundwork is still needed to set the first research foundations on the subject in Lisbon. |

Este estudo classifica-se como uma primeira tentativa de avaliar empiricamente o impacto macroscópico da metodologia TLS nas taxas de mortalidade de startups no ecossistema de Lisboa. Construiu-se uma base de dados de startups em Lisboa e, posteriormente, difundiu-se o primeiro questionário com uma escala de "Leanness" para estudá-las. Adicionalmente, foram conduzidas entrevistas semiestruturadas com empreendedores especialistas para enriquecer a pesquisa quantitativa. Não foi encontrada uma correlação significativa entre o uso da abordagem TLS e a redução das taxas de mortalidade de startups. Devido à falta de informação, não foi possível perceber qual é o grau de adoção da metodologia TLS. Não foi encontrada uma razão que justifique a maior confiança de investidores relativamente a oportunidades de investimento em startups que usam os princípios TLS. Especialistas em empreendedorismo não chegaram a um consenso no que diz respeito a um conjunto de métricas para monitorizar o progresso de startups. A sua informação no ecossistema de Lisboa encontra-se dispersa e desatualizada, o que tornou o estudo demorado e complexo. As startups esforçam-se por se destacarem dos pequenos negócios que se alimentam do alvoroço em redor do empreendedorismo, transformando Lisboa num polo saturado e confuso. Ainda há muito por descobrir neste ecossistema e, futuramente, os processos de certificação de startups e identificação de startups que utilizam os princípios TLS a partir da escala “Leanness” seriam caminhos a explorar.Faria, António Francisco Lucena Ferreira deVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaCaldeira, Martim Lino da Cruz2018-07-30T14:14:07Z2018-03-0720182018-03-07T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/25331TID:201888300enginfo: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:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:30:43Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/25331Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:20:11.567109Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
