Abstract

The TIPS, a representative public-private cooperative project to revitalize the start-up ecosystem, is a government supported policy that promotes successful commercialization through various start-up support for technology-based startups. The purpose of this study is to analyze the investment decision factors of the TIPS program and to derive priorities. In order to achieve the research purpose, first, the investment decision factors were derived through literature analysis, a Delphi surveys were conducted on investors and experts participating in the evaluation of the TIPS program, and an AHP analysis was conducted on 20 VCs to empirically analyze the priority of factors on investment decisions. As a result of the analysis, the importance of critical factors was confirmed in the order of entrepreneurs(team) > market > product/service > finance > network. The importance of detailed factors was found in the order of entrepreneur's reliability and authenticity > market growth and scalability > team members' expertise and capabilities > adequacy of current market size > new market creation. This study presented the capabilities of technology-based startups preparing to participate in the TIPS program by deriving factors that influence investment decisions from an investor's perspective and comparing and analyzing the importance. It is also meaningful that basic data on determinants of private-led investment decision-making were presented to stake-holders such as venture capital, accelerator, and start-up support institutions.

창업 생태계 활성화를 위한 국내 대표적인 민관 협력형 사업인 팁스 프로그램(TIPS)은 기술기반 스타트업을 대상으로 다양한 창업지원을 통해 성공적인 사업화를 촉진하는 정부지원정책이다. 본 연구는 팁스 프로그램의 투자의사 결정요인을 분석하고 우선순위를 도출하는데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위하여, 먼저 문헌분석을 통해 투자의사 결정요인을 도출하고 팁스 프로그램의 심사평가에 참여하는 투자자 및 전문가 대상 델파이 설문조사를 수행한 뒤 투자심사역(VCs) 20명을 대상으로 AHP분석을 실시하여 투자의사 결정에 미치는 요인의 우선순위를 실증 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 상위요인의 중요도는 창업가(팀) > 시장 > 제품·서비스 > 재무 > 네트워크의 순서로 확인되었으며, 세부요인의 중요도는 창업가의 신뢰성 및 진정성 > 시장성장 및 확장가능성 > 팀원들의 전문성 및 역량 > 현 시장규모 적정성 > 신시장 창출 가능성의 순서로 나타났다. 본 연구는 투자자 관점에서 투자 의사결정에 영향을 주는 요인을 도출하여 중요도를 비교 분석함으로써 팁스 프로그램 참여를 준비하는 기술기반 스타트업이 갖추어야 할 역량을 제시하였다. 또한 벤처캐피탈, 액셀러레이터, 창업지원기관 등 창업 생태계 이해관계자들에게 민간 투자 주도형 투자의사 결정요인에 관한 기초 자료를 제시하였다는 데 의의가 있다.
