Abstract

Entrepreneurship is a key activity for the socioeconomic development of any nation, which requires an ecosystem conducive to its development and growth. In the following work, an analysis of the entrepreneurial ecosystem for the development of Startups in the city of Guayaquil and the effectiveness of emerging companies within the Guayaquil economy was carried out. Therefore, the elements of the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the contributions exerted by such ecosystem were analyzed, as well as possible solutions to improve the development of local Startups are proposed. The methodology is of an exploratory type, with a quantitative qualitative approach, using as a technique the survey to a sample of 38 startups in the city of Guayaquil, in addition, the development of information obtained through cross tables, principal component analysis and cluster analysis was proposed. Among the results it was found that the most valued components in the initial stage are the existence of competitive funds, support from other entrepreneurs, access to coworking and technology, in the survival stage is important access to accelerators, access to laboratories, universities and in the growth stage the existence of attractive markets and visits to other international entrepreneurship ecosystems. The conclusion is that the contribution of the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem to startups is limited by the existence of political, human talent, cultural, financing, innovation, market and support barriers that do not allow an adequate development and sustainability of the businesses.
