Selected forms of support in the Krakow startup ecosystem: pilot study results

Summary/Abstract: Innovations and the introduction of new solutions to the market are currently key elements of economic development. Startups are largely responsible for this, and their development is supported by the local startup ecosystem. The main objective of the article is to attempt to identify selected forms of support for startups, especially in the pre-seed stage, offered by the Krakow ecosystem. The following research methods were used: a case study (Krakow startup ecosystem) and pilot surveys among purposefully selected participants. The research was conducted among various participants of the local ecosystem, i.e. representatives of startups, investors, entrepreneurs and representatives of institutions supporting them. The research shows that the Krakow startup ecosystem offers numerous forms of support, including access to financing, mentoring and knowledge resources. Thanks to this, it creates favorable conditions for their development, especially in the initial stages of activity. Respondents also indicated the weaknesses of the local ecosystem and areas requiring improvement.
