Abstract

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution progresses, the importance of startups is becoming more prominent. Additionally, the role of accelerators in ensuring the sustainability of startups is also being emphasized. Therefore, in this study, among the services provided by accelerators to startups, the mentoring service, education service, funding service, and networking service tried to empirically analyze the structural relationship that affects startup performance through the dynamic capabilities of start-ups. To achieve this, we conducted a survey in February 2023 targeting startup CEOs and executives who had experience with accelerator program services. A total of 238 valid responses were analyzed using structural equation modeling with Amos 24. The results of the empirical analysis were as follows. The accelerator program services, including mentoring, education, funding, and networking services, had a significant positive effect on startup dynamic capabilities. Among the accelerator program sub-factors, networking services had the highest impact on startup dynamic capabilities, followed by mentoring, funding, and education services. Furthermore, startup dynamic capabilities were found to have a significant positive effect on startup performance. On the other hand, startup dynamic capabilities were found to mediate the relationship between mentoring, education, funding, networking services, and startup performance. Dynamic capabilities are a critical factor for startups, and the finding that accelerator programs can have a significant impact on startup performance by mediating these dynamic capabilities is significant both academically and practically.

창업기업의 5년내 생존율이 30% 내외인 점을 감안하면 스타트업의 지속가능성은 중요한 이슈로 부상하고 있다. 최근들어 스타트업을 지원하는 액셀러레이터의 역할이 강조되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 액셀러레이터들이 스타트업에 제공하는 서비스 중 멘토링서비스, 교육서비스, 펀딩서비스, 네트워킹서비스가 스타트업의 동적역량을 거쳐 스타트업 성과에 영향을 미치는 구조적인 관계를 실증 분석하고자 했다. 이를 위해 액셀러레이터 프로그램 서비스를 받은 경험이 있는 스타트업 CEO 및 임원진을 대상으로 2023년 2월에 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 이중 유효한 238개를 분석 대상으로 삼았다. 실증분석은 Amos 24를 활용한 구조방정식으로 했다. 실증 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 액셀러레이터 프로그램 중 멘토링서비스, 교육서비스, 펀딩서비스 및 네트워킹서비스는 스타트업 동적 역량에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 액셀러레이터 프로그램 하위 요소가 스타트업 동적역량에 미치는 영향력의 순위는 네트워킹서비스, 멘토링서비스, 펀딩서비스, 교육서비스 순으로 나타났다. 또한 스타트업의 동적 역량은 스타트업 창업 성과에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 스타트업의 동적 역량은 멘토링서비스, 교육서비스, 펀딩서비스, 네트워킹서비스와 스타트업 창업성과간 유의한 매개 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 스타트업에 있어서 동적 역량은 매우 중요한 요소이며, 액셀러레이터 프로그램은 이러한 동적 역량을 매개로 해서 창업 성과에 유의한 영향을 미치다는 점은 학술적으로나 실무적으로나 나름 의미있는 시사점이라 할 수 있을 것이다.
