This article examines how and why entrepreneurship differs by region concerning the history of Korea's entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs). Through a qualitative analysis of 19 interviews, this article compares the history and components of Seoul National University and KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) EEs. First, these ecosystems emerged around 1996 and are currently experiencing the second startup boom, with various supporting organizations and actors involved. Second, these ecosystems revealed differences concerning material, social and cultural attributes. Third, differences in the networking of the two ecosystems are due to different regional cultures, which allow individuals to interpret entrepreneurial opportunities. In other words, the maintenance and development of EEs are cultural in essence and display regional variation.

본 연구는 국내 창업초기투자생태계의 현황을 진단하고 향후 진화의 방향과제를 도출하는 것이 목적이다. 2013년 정부의 투자중심 창업지원 생태계 구축정책에 힘입어 국내 창업초기 투자생태계는 보다 세분화되고 활성화 되고 있다. 종전의 엔젤투자와 VC 투자자로 양분되었던 벤처투자시장에, 특히 창업초기단계 개인엔젤투자조합, 전문엔젤, TIPS, 엑셀러레이터와 창업초기 전용VC 펀드인 인큐베이팅펀드와 청년창업전용투자펀드등에서 최근 마이크로VC펀드에 이르기까지 다양한 창업초기 VC 펀드가 창출되며 다양한 그룹의 투자자들이 생성 진화중이다. 이렇게 창업초기 다양한 투자자그룹이 생성되고 성장하고 있는 이면에는 정부의 매칭투자와 투자연계 R&D 자금이 큰 역할을 하고 있어 투자자들에게는 창업기업에게 Valuation과 투자 위험 관리에 큰 도움을 주고, 창업기업에게는 과도한 지분의 희석 없이 투자자금이 가진 장점의 혜택을 극대화하고 있다. 그러나 본 연구의 국내창업초기 투자생태계 진단결과, 국내 창업투자생태계는 다양한 투자자그룹이 생성되고 성장하고 있지만 서로 다른 투자자 그룹 간 공동투자나 후속투자 연계 등의 협업적 활동 및 회수네트워크 연계 등 활동은 아직 미흡하다. 또한 투자분야 자체가 모바일 및 인터넷서비스 분야에 집중되고 있어, 상대적으로 긴 시간의 보육과 성장검증기간 및 규모 있는 투자를 필요로하는 제조분야는 비중이 약한 편이어서 투자 대상 사업 분야의 다변화 필요하다. 뿐만 아니라 국내 창업초기투자생태계는 창업의 글로벌 사업성과를 내기 위한 글로벌 투자자들과의 연계구조는 미흡한 상황이어 이를 촉진할 방안이 요구된다고 할 수 있다.

With the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in sight, innovative business models utilizing new technologies are emerging, and startups are enjoying an abundance of opportunities based on the agility to respond to disruptive innovations and the opening to new technologies. However, what is most important in creating a sustainable start-up ecosystem is not the start-up itself, but the process of research-start-investment-investment-the leap to listing and big business-in order to build a virtuous circle of startups that leads to re-investment. To this end, the environment created in the hub area where start-ups were conducted is important, and these material and non-material environmental factors are described as being inclusive by the word "entrepreneurial ecosystem." This study aims to provide implications for Korea's entrepreneurial ecosystem through the study of the interaction of the elements that make up the start-up ecosystem and the relationship of ecosystem participants in Singapore. Singapore has been consistently mentioned as the top two Asian countries in assessing the start-up environment and business environment. In this process, six elements of the entrepreneurial ecosystem presented by Isenberg(2010)-policies, finance, culture, support, human resources, and market-are the best frameworks for analyzing entrepreneurial ecosystems in terms of well encompassing prior studies related to entrepreneurial ecosystem elements, and a model of regional transformation is formed focusing on some elements to suit Singapore, the target area of study. By considering that Singapore's political nature would inevitably have a huge impact on finance, Smart Nation policy was having an impact on university education related to entrepreneurship, and that the entrepreneurial networks and global connectivity formed within Singapore's start-up infrastructure had a significant impact on Singapore's start-up's performance, researches needed to look more at the factors of policy, culture and market. In addition, qualitative research of participants in the entrepreneurial ecosystem was essential to understand the internal interaction of the elements of the start-up ecosystem, so the semi-structured survey was conducted by visiting the site. As such, this study examined the status of the local entrepreneurial ecosystem based on qualitative research focused on policies, culture and market elements of Singapore's start-up ecosystem, and intended to provide implications for regulations related to start-ups, the role of universities and start-up infrastructure through comparison with Korea. This could contribute not only to the future research of the start-up ecosystem, but also to the creation of a start-up infrastructure, boosting the start-up ecosystem, and the establishment of the orientation of the start-up education in universities.

As the entrepreneurial ecosystem turns out to be a leading factor in improving nation's entrepreneurship, many studies are underway in the country to develop the start-up ecosystem. Although the entrepreneurial ecosystem is receiving attention as an essential factor for the nation's economic growth as well as entrepreneurship due to its inter-relationship with start-ups, government agencies and investors, criticism of measurement indicators has been increasing due to the different institutional and political contexts of each country, including the various definition of start-up ecosystem. In this study, we develop indicators that are suitable for domestic conditions in Korea and that can measure the level of start-up ecosystems in each regional level. FGI and Delphi surveys by scholarly experts in each field of start-ups & entrepreneurship were conducted to verify how well existing indicators fit the domestic situation and to develop indicators that can measure the local entrepreneurial ecosystem in Korea through close examination. As a result, the local entrepreneurial ecosystem consisted of three to four sub-components and 38 sub-components, each consisting of seven indicators, including Policy, Investment, Culture, Market, Human Capital, Support and Knowledge. It is expected that this research will be used to diagnose local start-up ecosystems and to propose discriminatory policies that can complement regional strengths and weaknesses.

2008년 글로벌 금융위기 이후 세계 주요 국가들은 이러한 상황의 생존전략으로 창업 및 기업가정신의 부활을 강조하고 있다. 우리나라도 경기침체 및 청년실업률 증가와 같은 장기불황을 극복하기 위해 '국민행복, 희망의 새 시대'라는 국정비전하에 '일자리 중심의 창조경제' 실현을 제1의 국정목표로 설정하였다. 2016년 4년차에 접어드는 창조경제는 수많은 예산과 인력을 투입하여 창업지원사업을 하고 있지만, 그 효과성에 대해서는 의문이 든다. 이에 본 연구는 실제 창업을 하거나 준비 중인 창업가, (예비)창업가, 학생을 중심으로 현 창업생태계의 문제점을 분석하였고, 이 분석결과를 토대로 정부, 지방자치단체 및 민간의 창업지원사업에 바람직한 지원방향을 제시하여 건강한 창업생태계 구축을 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 분석결과, 정부의 창업지원 정책의 문제점은 보겨 주기식 창업지원사업 및 행사라고 응답한 비율이 41.5%로 가장 높은 응답률을 보였고, 국내 창업생태계 조성을 위해 제 역할을 충분히 하지 않은 당사자는 34.1%가 중앙정부, 28.3% 국내 대기업이라고 응답하였다. 창업경험 유무에 따른 창업과정의 애로사항은 자금조달이 46.1%로 가장 높았고, 창업 초기자금 조달방법은 응답자의 절반인 50.4%가 개인자금으로 창업 초기자금을 조달한다고 응답하였다. 창업이 주저되는 주요 이유로는 창업자금 마련 및 기회비용이 40.4%로 가장 높은 응답률을 보였고, 창업 시 가장 필요하고 중요하다고 생각되는 지원정책으로는 자금 및 투자 지원이 26.6%, 사무실공간지원 13.5%, 마케팅 및 판로 지원이 13.5%의 응답률을 보였다.

현재 4차산업혁명시대에 창의적인 아이디어와 적극적인 도전정신으로 무장한 스타트업이 글로벌 산업을 주도하고 있다. 정부에서도 지역별 스타트업 생태계 활성화를 위해 전국 17개의 창조경제혁신센터 운영을 지원하며, 각 센터별로 '개방성, 자율성, 다양성'의 운영 원칙 하에 지역별 스타트업 창업 생태계 허브, 공공 액셀러레이터, 그리고 오픈 이노베이션 플랫폼 역할을 담당하고 있다. 최근 수도권 스타트업 생태계는 활성화되고 있는데 비해, 지역의 스타트업 생태계는 인력, 자금 등 스타트업 성장에 핵심적인 요소 확보에 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 특히, 부산은 일자리를 찾아 수도권으로 떠나는 등 청년층의 이탈로 고령화가 가장 빠른 도시로서, 지역 일자리 문제를 해결하는 주요 방법 중의 하나로 스타트업 생태계 활성화가 중요한데, 스타트업 지원기업 중에서도 초기 스타트업 창업 및 성장 지원 업무에 집중하는 부산창조경제혁신센터의 역할이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 부산창조경제혁신센터의 운영 개선 방향을 내부 직원 설문조사로 도출하고, 타겟 고객을 창업가/초기 스타트업(Creator), 교육기관(Campus), 대기업(Company), 그리고 커뮤니티(Community)의 4C로 정의하였다. 부산창조경제혁신센터의 일관된 방향성 정립을 위해 미션과 비전을 각각 정의했으며, 그것을 달성하기 위한 전략 및 실행 방안을 도출하였다. 마지막으로 센터와 직원들이 공동 성장할 수 있는 센터 업무 협력 체계와 역량 강화 교육 체계를 제시한다.

Recently, various studies on the entrepreneurial ecosystem have been conducted. The entrepreneurial ecosystem is composed of various elements such as entrepreneurs, governments, and infrastructure, and these factors interact to contribute to economic development. The purpose of this study was to analyze differences in importance and performance of the entrepreneurial ecosystem for startups using the importance-performance analysis (IPA) method. Based on this, the importance and current level of the components of the entrepreneurial ecosystem were identified and policy implications were presented. The results of the study are as follows. The importance ranking was in the order of startup support program(4.43), startup funding (4.39), market accessibility(4.30). The ranking of performance was startup support program(3.81), ease of starting a business(3.76), support for startup support institutions(3.66), and startup funding(3.66). All elements of the entrepreneurial ecosystem showed higher importance than performance. This means that the components of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Korea are recognized as important, but do not play a significant role in terms of performance for startups. In addition, the factors with the highest improvement in the importance-performance matrix were 「safety nets for startup failure」, 「culture of acceptance of failure」, 「ease of market entry」, 「ease of startup survival」, and 「ease of exit」. This study suggested improvement measures such as establishing a social safety net, improving awareness of startup failure culture, matching successful startups, strengthening scale-up support by growth stage, easing regulations in new business fields, and diversifying investment recovery strategies.
