Resumo: The renewal and development of an economy depend on innovation, which is closely related to new ventures and startups. This article aims to characterize existing startups in the innovation ecosystem of Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais - Brazil), considering the startups present in an Acceleration Program. For achieving this purpose, a qualitative research with a descriptive approach and a case study focusing on the Techmall S.A. Acceleration Program was adopted. The results revealed the profile of the entrepreneur, predominantly young, without previous entrepreneurial experience and with degree in Exact Sciences. As for Startups, most are in operation in several segments; received some award and are not aresult of academic or business spin-offs. The predominant form of hiring employees is temporary internship and scholarship regime. The results presented the main challenges faced by the startups are escalating sales and attracting customers (internal challenges), and taking initial capital, financing and foreign investments (external challenges). To face such challenges, the accelerator should assist in mapping customers and determining sales strategies, considering that this is one of the difficulties found. Finally, the study concluded that it is necessary that the Minas Gerais Innovation Ecosystem be aware of the challenges encountered, in order to formulate policies to minimize them.

Este artigo tem por objetivo caracterizar as startups existentes no ecossistema de inovação de Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais), considerando aquelas participantes em um Programa de Aceleração. Para tanto, adotou-se a pesquisa qualitativa com abordagem descritiva e estudo de caso com enfoque no Programa de Aceleração da Techmall S.A. Pela pesquisa realizada, foi possível constatar que o perfil do empreendedor é predominantemente de jovens, sem vivência empreendedora anterior, com formação em ciências exatas. Quanto às Startups, a maioria está em fase de operação em diversos segmentos; receberam algum prêmio, e não são resultados de spin-offs acadêmicas ou empresariais. A forma predominante de contratação de seus colaboradores é por estágio temporário e por regime de bolsa. Foi possível verificar que seus principais desafios são osde escalar venda e de captar cliente (desafios internos), alémde obter capital inicial, financiamentos e investimentos (desafios externos). Para enfrentar tais desafios, a aceleradora deveria auxiliar no mapeamento de clientes e na determinação de estratégias para vendas, considerando que isso é uma das dificuldades apresentadas. Por fim, o estudo conclui que é preciso que o Ecossistema de Inovação Mineiro esteja atento aos desafios encontrados, de modo a formular políticas para minimizá-los.Universidade Federal Fluminense, Programa de Pós-graduação em Administração (Fluminense Federal University, Master Program in Management)2021-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer reviewedAvaliado pelos paresTextoapplication/pdfhttps://www.rasi.vr.uff.br/index.php/rasi/article/view/51510.20401/rasi.7.1.515Review of Administration, Society and Innovation; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2021): v. 7 n. 1 (2021): jan/apr 2021; 70-83Revista de Administração, Sociedade e Inovação; v. 7 n. 1 (2021): v. 7 n. 1 (2021): jan/abr 2021; 70-832447-8156reponame:Revista de Administração, Sociedade e Inovaçãoinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://www.rasi.vr.uff.br/index.php/rasi/article/view/515/133Copyright (c) 2020 Revista de Administração, Sociedade e Inovaçãohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Oliveira, Bárbara Graciano Soares , Cíntia Siqueira Araújo da Fonseca , Cristina Luiza Ramos Barbosa, Allan Claudius Queiroz 2021-01-04T20:47:49Zoai:ojs.192.168.8.15:article/515Revistahttps://www.rasi.vr.uff.br/index.php/rasiPUBhttps://www.rasi.vr.uff.br/index.php/rasi/oaiperiodico.rasi@gmail.com || marciomabdalla@gmail.com10.204012447-81562447-8156opendoar:2021-01-04T20:47:49Revista de Administração, Sociedade e Inovação - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
