국내 액셀러레이터 현황 분석: 보육 프로그램 및 프로세스, 보육 스타트업의 초기 성과를 중심으로

초록

This study aims to highlight and analyze the domestic status of accelerators which is a major player in the start-up ecosystem recently. We compared the five accelerators that participated in government projects in 2018. Based on data retrieved from the performance results of the government projects, accelerator website, and blog, we compared five dominant characteristics of government-funded accelerators: the major investing sectors, selection process, accelerating program, investment status, and early performances. We found that all accelerators are similar in the selection method, and accelerating program contents. However, there are major differences in the priority of selection criteria for start-up and the detailed contents of the program. The dominant role of the accelerator can contribute not to the sales but to the growth in terms of investment and patents. This case study showed some evidence between the role of the accelerator and the growth of a start-up even though there are few precedent kinds of research and limited information for the Korean accelerators. For the next step, a series of quantitative studies will be necessary to identify further concrete evidence related to the accelerator's excellence and the accelerator's contribution to start-up growth.
