초록

액셀러레이터는 스타트업에게 창업지원시설, 자금, 사업화, 판로확보 등의 다양한 애로사항을 종합적으로 지원하는 민간투자기관이다. 액셀러레이터가 새로운 창업지원 모델로 투자자 역할 외에 집중적인 멘토링을 통해 스타트업의 사업능력 향상에 많은 기여를 하고 있다. 본 연구는 기존 선행연구들이 투자자관점의 투자결정요인에 치중한다는 점을 고려하여, 액셀러레이터 투자자 창업자 간의 스타트업 투자결정 요인에 대한 상대적 중용도를 AHP방법을 통해 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 액셀러레이터 투자자는 스타트업의 "경영자 특성"을 스타트업 창업자는 스타트업의 "시장 특성"을 상대적으로 가장 중요하게 평가하였다. 이러한 결과는 투자자 관점에서 스타트업의 성공이 창업자의 역량에 좌우한다는 경험적 판단에 기인한 것이며, 창업자는 투자자가 투자회수기간을 고려하여 스타트업의 시장성을 중요하게 평가한 것으로 보인다. 이러한 결과는 엔젤투자자, 벤처캐피탈의 투자결정요인에 대한 기존 연구결과와 유사하였다. 본 논문은 액셀러레이터가 성장가능성 높은 스타트업을 발굴하고 인큐베이팅과 투자에 더 많은 성과를 내기 위한 투자결정모형의 고도화에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

Accelerator is a private investment institution that provides startups with comprehensive solutions to solve various difficulties such as startup facilities, funds, commercialization, securing a market etc. In addition to the role of an investor as a new startup support model, accelerators have contributed much to improvement of business ability of startups through intensive mentoring. Considering that previous studies gave weight to the determinants of investment from the perspective of investors, this study made a comparative analysis on the relative importance of determinants of investment in startups among accelerators, investors and entrepreneurs through the method of AHP. Results show that accelerators and investors regard "managerial characteristics" of startups as of the highest importance, whereas entrepreneurs think that "market characteristics" of startups are the most important. The result stems from an empirical judgment from the perspective of investors that success of startups depends on the ability of entrepreneur, and it is considered that investors evaluated marketability of startups as the most important factor in consideration of investment payback period. The result is similar to the result of previous studies on the determinants of investment determinants of angel investors and venture capitals. This paper is expected to make a contribution to the advancement of investment decision-making model for accelerators to discover startups with high possibility to grow and achieve more in incubation and investment.
