Startup Ecosystem
A startup ecosystem refers to the interconnected environment that supports the growth and development of new businesses, particularly startups. This ecosystem consists of various components, including entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, incubators, accelerators, service providers, and educational institutions, all of which contribute to the creation, launch, and scaling of new ventures. The startup ecosystem also involves the interactions and relationships among these players, as well as the cultural and economic conditions that foster innovation and entrepreneurship. A robust startup ecosystem typically features access to funding, networking opportunities, talent, resources, and supportive policies, facilitating an environment where startups can thrive and contribute to economic growth and job creation.
