The Influence of Incubator and Accelerator Participation on Nanotechnology Venture Success
研究了私人孵化器、大学孵化器和加速器等创业发展项目对纳米技术初创企业成功的影响,发现不同项目的影响差异很大,并进一步分析了项目服务和资源的作用。
This study investigates how venture development programs such as private incubators, university incubators, and accelerators influence the success of participating nanotechnology startups. With the recent growth in such programs, empirical work is needed to compare their impact on participants across programs and with nonparticipants. Using data on firm bankruptcies, liquidation, government grants, and venture capital, we find benefits, but the influence of each venture development program varies greatly. We further investigate the influence of program services and resources to clarify program heterogeneity beyond existing typologies. The results clarify the role of these programs and ecosystem intermediaries.
