When incubator resources are crucial: survival chances of student startups operating in an academic incubator

The Influence of Incubator and Accelerator Participation on Nanotechnology Venture Success

“…Three binary variables were constructed indicating if the firm was awarded a patent before each of the dependent variables of interest and these were included in the respective analysis (patenting before negative closures was included in the negative closure models, patenting before government grants was included in grant models and patenting before VC was included in VC models). To control for the influence of founder experience and education we included two binary variables, one for previous entrepreneurial experience of any founder (e.g., Blank, 2020) and another for any founder obtaining a doctorate before starting the firm (e.g., Woolley, 2019). Work has shown that firms with stronger founding teams and ideas are less likely to apply to participate in accelerators, which leads to accelerated firms raising less VC funding (Yu, 2020).…”

Overview of the factors that influence the competitiveness of startups: a systematized literature review

“…The synergy between subsidiary and parent company, and the environment in which a leasing company operates serve as favorable conditions for improving competitiveness (Gwebu et al, 2019). Furthermore, the literature demonstrates that the support activities of business incubators and accelerators, as resources sources for startups, seem to have a direct impact on the performance of companies (Samaeemofrad & Van Den Herik, 2018b;2018a) and its competitive advantage (Blank, 2021;Moritz et al, 2022;van Rijnsoever & Eveleens, 2021).…”

“…Within the Environmental FPV, factors related to State Support and Political Environment, Alliances Formation, Support from Incubators, Accelerators, and Technology Parks, Venture Capital, and Competitive Environment prevail (Acosta-Prado et al, 2020;Asadinasab et al, 2013;Asmoro & Nugroho, 2018;Baum & Silverman, 2004;Blank, 2021;Caseiro & Coelho, 2019;Dettwiler et al, 2006;Grilli & Murtinu, 2012;Gwebu et al, 2019;Jones & Crick, 2000;Kozubikova et al, 2019;Luo et al, 2021;Marullo et al, 2018;Moritz et al, 2022;Potjanajaruwit, 2018;Samaeemofrad & Van Den Herik, 2018a, b;Utomo & Simatupang, 2019;van Rijnsoever & Eveleens, 2021;Vedula & Fitza, 2019;Xiao & Zhao, 2017). Only the environmental FPV is partially dependent on the efforts of the startup team, mainly when related to political and economic factors, which are apart from managers, with policymakers responsible for providing a suitable environment for startups to be competitive.…”

How Does Social Media Influence College Students to Recognize Entrepreneurial Opportunities? - Evidence from China

“…Empirical studies also show that the support of the university is crucial to the success of college students' entrepreneurship, especially the full use of alumni resources, which plays a decisive role in the survival of most college students' startups (Buenstorf et al, 2016). No matter whether the entrepreneurial team of college students has rich management experience, whether they can make full use of all kinds of resources and guidance provided by the school incubator is the key to the survival of a start-up company (Blank, 2020). At the level of geographical regions, the differences in regional economic development level and individual comprehensive quality are the fundamental reasons for the difference in the entrepreneurship rate of college students in first-tier cities and other cities (Bin et al, 2018).…”
