Empreendedorismo startup: um panorama sobre o ecossistema de renovação brasileiro

Abstract

This work sought to understand the dynamics in which these companies are inserted, as well as the characteristics and motivations of researchers who seek to undertake in this ecosystem. For this, an exploratory analysis was used, rescuing the Schumpeterian thought. It is concluded that Brazil occupies a relevant position with regard to startup communities and the creation of new businesses. Public and private initiatives, with policies and investments, have generated positive effects on the production of knowledge and innovations, and the foreign market has increasingly invested in companies in the country. Although studies on the characteristics of startup entrepreneurs are still scarce, the data that exist show that there isn’t a social diversity among entrepreneurs of this model and also a concentration of these companies in richer regions of the country.
