This thesis presents a comprehensive assessment of a growth accelerator company within the dynamic startup ecosystem. The research seeks to answer the question: What are the major success factors for growth accelerator companies? It is focused on identifying the aspects important to the company's success.
The research takes a multidimensional approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the growth accelerator and the market conditions in which the company operates. Initial research requires an in-depth analysis of current literature in order to clarify the theoretical frameworks that drive effective growth acceleration. This foundation guides future empirical research by informing the creation of a conceptual framework. Interviews with the CEO of the commissioning firm and his clients provide qualitative data. These insights are further sup-ported by a quantitative examination of performance measures, which examines the success paths of accelerated businesses.
Key findings highlight the importance of mentorship, program structure, and industry alignment as critical success factors for growth accelerators. Furthermore, the study investigates the influence of networking, financial health of the company, and market adaptation on the overall performance of these initiative. This thesis gives practical advice for growth accelerators wanting to improve their impact on the businesses they develop by identifying and prioritizing important success drivers.
Finally, the findings of this study highlight the multifaceted nature of success in the growth accelerator space and serve as a valuable resource for industry stakeholders, policymakers, and academics seeking to understand and contribute to the ongoing evolution of growth accelerator programs.
