  Startup accelerator program is a new incubation model to accelerate venture creation providing specialized mentorship, networking opportunities and financing growth driven businesses. Since emergence of the first accelerator in US in 2005, the number of seed accelerating programs has quickly grown worldwide. Performance evaluation of these emerging programs not only could clarify relative success of this new incubation approach but also help out Iranian emerging accelerators to benchmark from pioneers of the industry. The evaluation could also assist startups and entrepreneurs to find out which of the existing accelerators are well-performed and thus ease decision making to select them as their incubator. So in this paper we aim to measure the performance of US top accelerators using a DEA method combined with goal programing approach. The inputs of the evaluation consist of numbers of mentors and startups, investment on each startup in average and in general, and the share of accelerator in startup company. The outputs in turn are different and include number and value of exits, and fund raising. Comparison of the final result with Seed Accelerator Ranking Project (SARP), shows different sorting and it is due the distinct evaluation approach. SARP considers only outputs of accelerators but we take in to account both outputs and inputs in the evaluation which could better illustrate the efficiency of DMUs. Manuscript profile

  The purpose of this study is to investigate the success factors of digital startup accelerators in the post-Corona era. In terms of purpose, this research is in the field of applied research, and since it describes the variables and the relationships between them, recognizes the current situation and finally provides a model, it is descriptive-survey method. The statistical population of this study includes experts related to digital accelerator startup accelerators in the post-corona era. In order to achieve apparent theoretical saturation, 25 people were selected as a sample by interview method and the required information was collected. To analyze the qualitative data and extract the factors affecting the success of startup accelerators in the digital field and the factors affecting it, the content analysis method (theme analysis) was used. Structural-interpretive modeling has been used to identify the relationships between variables. The research findings include describing the success pattern of digital startup accelerators and analyzing the results of correlation penetration. Examining the results obtained from the nineteen main factors of identified agility, it was found that the flexibility of organizational structure and data analysis have the greatest influence and the ability to respond to environmental issues and the ability to change business goals, have the greatest dependence Manuscript profile

  start-up is a new business that offers an innovative solution to a problem; start-ups are an integral part of the transformation and evolution process in the expanding world market today. While there is no guarantee of success for this business through the proposed solution. Many consider startups as a new culture for new ideas and creativity beyond existing ideas aimed at solving existing problems in key areas. The purpose of this research is to provide a comprehensive, pervasive, and integrated information model of the success factors of startups. To this end, by employing meta_synthesis approach in this research, the results and findings of previous researchers were analyzed, and by examining comprehensive studies on the success factors of startups in reputable domestic and foreign scientific bases, 52 articles on this subject were identified. The research results classified the success factors of startups into 6 main themes and 17 components. The main themes include: Strategy and Policy (business model management, goals and plans, vision and strategies), Innovation and Entrepreneurship (innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, dynamic entrepreneurial capacity, innovation and entrepreneurship culture), Service and Product Management (marketing and sales, customer satisfaction, quality and quantity of products, production methods), Resources (financial resources, human resources), Technology and Knowledge (knowledge management, technological infrastructure), and Technological Infrastructure (the role of government and relevant institutions, the role of financial institutions and investment, international environment), each of which is further elaborated with identified components.

  During the last decades, the global competition to hunt talent has intensified. Therefore, three is a great competition among new and traditional receiving countries to attract entrepreneurs and skilled migrants who have the considerable ability to create jobs or economic benefits. In this regard, receiving countries through some specific programs like startup visas pave the road for innovative entrepreneurs and startup founders. This paper, reviews what startup visas are, how the countries apply them for attracting entrepreneurs and startups and finally considers the bilateral effects of startup visas on entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem of countries.
