The advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), along with the expansion of government and private investment in startup discovery and funding, has led to the emergence of startups seeking to generate outstanding results based on innovative ideas. As successful startups serve as role models, the number of aspiring entrepreneurs preparing to launch their own startups continues to increase. However, unlike entrepreneurs who challenge themselves with serial entrepreneurship after experiencing success, early-stage startups face various challenges such as team building, technology development, and fundraising. Accelerators play a dual role of mentor and investor by providing education, mentoring, consulting, network connection, and initial investment activities to help startups overcome various challenges they face and facilitate their growth. This study investigated whether there is a correlation between the characteristics of startups and their entrepreneurial performance, and analyzed whether accelerators mediate the relationship between startup characteristics and entrepreneurial performance. A total of 11 hypotheses were proposed, and a survey was conducted on 302 startup founders and employees located across the country, including the metropolitan area, for empirical research. SPSS 23.0 and Amos 23.0 were used for statistical analysis. Through this study, it was found that factors such as innovation, organizational culture, financial characteristics, and learning orientation among the characteristics of startups, rather than having a direct impact on entrepreneurial performance, are linked to entrepreneurial performance through the role of accelerators. By analyzing the impact factors of startup characteristics on entrepreneurial performance, this study presents research on the role of accelerators and provides institutional improvements. It is expected to contribute to the expansion of investment and differentiated acceleration programs, enabling startups to seize the market and grow stably in the market.

본 연구는 우리나라 대학의 창업교육센터(Entrepreneurship Education Center)에 대한 조사를 수행하여 선행 조사DB와 비교 분석하였다. 창업교육센터 실태조사를 바탕으로 대학별 정량적 정성적 지표를 측정하여 상위그룹과 하위그룹의 구분하고 두 집단의 차이점과 성공운영 요인을 분석하였다. 창업교육센터의 일반 현황과 특성, 교직원(교수자수, 교원창업자수), 교과목(과목, 수강인 원수), 학내외 프로그램(창업동아리, 창업경진대회, 창업캠프), 재정운영(예산, 전담인력) 등의 계량 지표는 대학정보공시(대학 알리미)와 중앙일보 대학평가 DB를 기초하여 조사하였다. 그리고 운영상의 문제점, 센터의 성과측정 항목 등 정성지표는 창업교육센터장을 대상으로 설문 조사하였다. 또한, 국내 창업교육센터의 표본특성을 살펴본 후 상위그룹과 하위그룹의 차이를 규명하여 상위그룹이 보유하고 있는 인적 물적 역량과 프로그램의 분석하여 창업교육센터의 활성화 방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 교육부의 "산학협력 선도대학(LINC) 육성사업 (2012년~2106년)"에서 창업교육을 총괄 지원하기 위해 2012년 대학에 설치된 전담조직인 61개 창업교육센터의 성과를 분석하고 대학평가에서 상위 순위에 있는 대학 그룹들의 차이점을 도출하는데 의미가 있다. 또한 2017년에 새롭게 지정된 LINC+ 사업 ('17년~) 창업교육 분야의 정책적 시사점을 제시한다. 본 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 문헌연구와 창업교육센터 운영에 대한 구조적 설문지를 개발하여 실태를 분석하였다. 이 결과는 창업교육센터의 효율적 운영을 위해 대학교직원 연구자 공무원 학생 및 창업교육센터를 포함한 창업지원 기관의 이해 관계자에게 향후의 발전을 위한 자료로써 의미가 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 스타트업 투자성과와 연계된 창업가 역량, 재무정보 등 정량데이터를 기반으로 스타트업 투자자들의 투자결정요인을 분석하였다. 주요 실증결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 창업 초기 종업원 수가 많고, 최고경영자의 지분비율이 높을수록 투자승인 확률이 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 재무적 특성에서는 기업의 매출액 규모가 작을수록 투자승인 확률이 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 스타트업의 경우, 기업의 단기성과보다는 투자 결정에 있어 미래가치 혹은 다른 정성적인 요인이 더 고려된다는 점을 보여준다. 셋째, 창업가 특성에서는 CEO 교육수준(학력)이 높을수록 투자승인 확률이 높게 나타났다. 즉, 창업자의 학력은 성공적인 투자 여부에 핵심적인 변수이고 이것은 선행연구의 결과와 다르지 않았다. 또한, 학력과 투자유치의 연관성은 창업 3년 미만 스타트업에서 상대적으로 강하게 나타났다. 선행연구에서 투자정보공개, 관련 데이터 확보의 어려움으로 스타트업 투자에 관한 정량적 실증연구가 거의 진행되지 못한 점을 고려한다면, 본 연구는 설문조사 방식을 뛰어넘어 국내 초기 창업기업만을 대상으로 성공적인 투자유치와 연계된 스타트업의 평가요인을 정량적으로 분석했다는 점에서 중요한 의의를 갖는다.

Entrepreneurship by seniors who have accumulated skills and expertise in the industrial field is very important from a social point of view. This study aimed at seniors to find out the major start-up capabilities of seniors in an economic situation where instability factors and uncertainties are amplified due to the social structure of jobs that has changed due to COVID-19 during the 4th industrial revolution and the rapidly progressing high interest rates and global supply chain problems. The purpose of this study was to empirically verify how variables affect entrepreneurial intention. In addition, from the perspective of mindset, which is the individual psychological characteristic of pre-entrepreneurs, we tried to empirically verify whether growth mindset and fixed mindset have a significant effect on senior entrepreneurship intention. The psychological characteristics of founders were approached from the perspective of mindset, and an attempt was made to apply them to the field of entrepreneurship and to obtain practical implications. This study empirically analyzed the effects of growth mindset, fixed mindset, technical competency, network competency, and funding competency, which are components of mindset, on senior entrepreneurial intention, and verified the mediating effect of entrepreneurial efficacy. As a result of the empirical analysis, it was verified that growth mindset and technological competency had a positive (+) effect on entrepreneurial intention. In addition, it was verified that the mediating effect of entrepreneurial efficacy was significant in the influence of growth mindset and technological competency on entrepreneurial intention, and it was verified that growth mindset and technological competency are important variables in senior entrepreneurship. The study results provide the following policy implications. In order to activate senior entrepreneurship, first, to maximize the effect of founder education, programs such as customized entrepreneurship education that match the growth mindset characteristics, which are the psychological characteristics of founders, are needed. Second, it is required to expand the base of technology startups by expanding government support, such as expanding low-interest policy financing, for senior startups with technological capabilities and expertise. Third, it is necessary to provide institutional support for starting a business, such as providing a start-up program even before retirement, so that the expertise and technology accumulated by seniors can be linked to start-ups even after retirement.
