Careful preparation for a start-up can lower the risk of failure and create a successful business model. However, there are still challenges for middle-aged entrepreneurs, as start-up services and policies are often not readily accessible or fully utilized. Despite active research on middle-aged start-ups, previous studies have not delved deeply into the demographics of start-up preparation and various preparation behaviors. In response to this, a study was conducted to identify which start-up support services middle-aged entrepreneurs use, and how start-up preparation can be classified based on this. Data from 324 middle-aged tech start-up owners, based in Seoul and who started their businesses within the past 7 years, was collected and analyzed. The results showed that middle-aged entrepreneurs had moderate start-up preparation, with the greatest focus on the preparation period and the least focus on start-up education. Latent Profile Analysis revealed three groups of start-up preparation types among middle-aged entrepreneurs: "Overall Tribal Type," "Lack of Start-up Education Type," and "Comprehensive Preparation Type." BCH was performed on start-up satisfaction, start-up competence, fear of failure, access to start-up services, and support needs for middle-aged entrepreneurs based on the preparation type. The results showed that "Overall Tribal Type" had statistically lower start-up satisfaction, competence, and service accessibility compared to the other groups. Meanwhile, "Comprehensive Preparation Type" had a statistically lower fear of failure than the other types. "Overall Tribal Type" also had lower accessibility to middle-aged start-up services. All types had a high recognition of the need for support for specialized middle-aged start-ups. The findings highlight the need for more comprehensive support for middle-aged entrepreneurs. This could include expanding support projects to enhance their level of preparation, providing customized support based on their level of preparation, and improving the visibility and accessibility of start-up support services for middle-aged individuals. Additionally, specialized education that addresses the characteristics of middle-aged individuals should be provided.

ICT 기술의 발전과 금융기술의 진보로 온라인 쇼핑으로 대표되는 전자상거래는 점점 더 대중화되고 있다. PC나 모바일기기로 빠르고 손쉽게 물건을 구매할 수 있어 온라인 쇼핑은 많은 사람에게 일상이 되었다. 특히 온라인 쇼핑은 임대료, 각종 공과금, 인건비, 재고 확보 등으로 높은 초기비용이 필요한 일반 오프라인 쇼핑에 비해 낮은 진입장벽을 가지고 있어 많은 창업가들이 관심을 두고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가장 보편적 온라인 쇼핑 창업 형태인 플랫폼 기반 창업을 통해 국내 온라인 창업 시장에 대해 전반적으로 알아보고자 한다. 특히 국내 최대 온라인 쇼핑 플랫폼인 네이버 스마트스토어의 판매자를 예로 살펴보면서 기존에 많이 연구되었던 소비자 입장에서의 온라인 쇼핑이 아닌 창업자 즉 판매자 입장에서 온라인 쇼핑을 분석함으로써 국내 온라인 쇼핑 창업의 양성에 필요한 정책적 지원에 관하여 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.

본 연구는 국내에 벤처 창업 자금이 많이 제공되나 실제로 스타트업이 투자 유치에 어려움을 겪고 있는 초기투자의 딜레마 문제를 연구하였다. 기술기반 스타트업은 새로운 제품과 서비스를 제공하는 신규 시장을 형성하면서 일자리와 고부가가치를 창출한다는 점에서 국민경제에서 역할이 매우 중요하다. 하지만 주요 선진국에 비해 국내에서는 초기 스타트업이 기술이전 후 창업으로 연계되지 못하는 경우가 많은 실정이다. 특히 최근에 국내 벤처창업 생태계에 정부 자금의 공급이 넘쳐나고 있음에도 불구하고 초기 단계 기업들은 자금 투자의 필요성을 역설하고 다수가 자기자본으로 시작하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 창업벤처 및 육성 지원책을 고찰하고, 국내 벤처캐피털 투자현황을 분석하여, 초기 단계 벤처기업에 대한 투자 활성화를 위해 투자 방식의 개선, 투자 주체의 확대, 그리고 투자 유형의 다변화를 제시하고자 하였다. 또한 벤처생태계의 초기투자 활성화를 위한 정책 수립에 필요한 조사와 방안을 제시하였다.

국내 창업연구 결과에 따르면 사내벤처 기업의 생존률 및 성과가 일반 창업기업 대비 더 높게 나타난다는 연구결과들이 제시되고 있다. 이에 우리 정부는 2017년부터 사내벤처 및 분사창업기업 육성을 위한 지원제도를 운영하고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 이러한 정부의 개입이 분사창업기업의 창업과 성장에 미치는 영향 관계를 분석하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 본 연구의 대상자는 2019년 1차년도 사내벤처 육성프로그램에 참여한 7개의 기업 중 11개의 분사기업팀을 대상으로 하였으며, 주된 영역은 (1)분사 칭업자의 특성에 따른 기업가적 의도 및 (2) 모기업의 지원정책, (3) 정부의 정책 개입에 따른 분사창업과의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 3개월의 이노베이션 부트캠프 과정 이후 2022년까지 해당기업의 CEO 인터뷰 및 기사를 통해 추적한 결과, 사내벤처팀 모두 모기업의 지원정책과 본인의 업무를 기반으로 창업을 시작하였으며, 모기업 및 유통파트너를 첫 소비자로 하는 경우가 다수를 차지하였다. 모기업은 재정직 지원 제공하는 한편, 정부에서 요구한 '실패시 재입사 가능'의 조항을 준수하고 있었으며 이러한 정부의 정책개입은 중소기업의 사내벤처제도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 우리나라 정부의 사내혁신을 통한 혁신창업 활성화에 이론적, 실무적, 정책적 제안을 제시하고자 한다.

However, korean entrepreneurial ecosystem currently results few successful business models with those continuous development of itself compared to the one in China, which is breeding more than 50% of unicorns internationally. Accordingly, this study examined how people in the venture ecosystem, especially in IT industry feel about themselves and startup itself and compared startup ecosystem in Seoul, Korea to the one in Chengdu, China considering each of economic, social and administrational environment. The study tried to provide an implication about the future orientation of Korea's starup and venture ecosystem to policy makers and the ones inside the environment to make a better one. Therefore, the study choose Seoul, Korea and Chengdu, China as geological specimens of startup ecosystem and conduct qualitative study by interviewing selected ones who work in startup incubator, accelerator specified to IT industry and started their own business in IT industry funded by startup reward program. The study categorize the result in social, economic, and administrative parts and screens whether the interviewees from both Korea and China have similar opinions toward each of questions and can be translated to have tendency or not in each part of study. According to the study, the national recognition of startup should be moved from means of maintenance such as restaurants, franchise business to IT startup especially based on software business for the sustainable flourish in Korean venture ecosystem. Investors including accelerator, Angel investors and VCs should be less risk-aversion and therefore prefer stake purchase to solely giving subsidies. The role of governors should be limited to be a middleman of the network, connecting each people in need inside the ecosystem and their reward program should focus on nurturing the growing ones, not just multiplying the numbers of startups to expand the size of entrepreneurial ecosystem. Since this study indicated that entire revision of startup ecosystem should be applied to make a better one, it could be used to design future entrepreneurial infrastructure and the ways of activating startup ecosystem elsewhere in Korea.
