The incubator’s black Box: A CoBS Research Pod
Studies show that up to 70% of startups close shop after three years. So what factors lead to startup survival? Research from Prof. and Deputy Dean Tales Andreassi of FGV-EAESP opens up the insides of incubators to reveal how they can determine whether a startup succeeds or fails.
It’s an exceptional fact: politicians, economists, academics and professionals themselves all agree on one thing. The thing in question? That new business brings adrenaline to a country’s economy and helps it stride onwards towards growth.
But despite this, start-ups suffer – from both newness on the market, their smallness, lack of legitimacy and connections, fewer resources and less access to knowledge than their grown-up counterparts – and this suffering often provokes a high failure rate. This high failure rate – 30-40% in their first year according to OECD figures – can actually spur governments to try to compensate for market failures, one type of state intervention being the nurturing of start-ups in business incubators.
