O empreendedorismo de startups em Aracaju-SE

Abstract

This monograph analyzes the development and decision making of startups in Aracaju-SE, analyzed between the months of December 2019 and February 2020. The research presented is of a qualitative type, with the purpose of comparing opinions on the proposed theme. To this end, a semi-structured interview script was applied with six Sergipe startups existing in the Sergipe Parque Tecnológico incubator (SERGIPETEC) and with startups present in coworking offices, office buildings, headquarters or in homes. A script containing seventeen specific questions about the vision that entrepreneurs understand about their startups, containing items necessary for relevant conclusions to be taken, was applied. In addition, three interviews were carried out with specialists in the area of start-up entrepreneurship in Aracaju-SE in order to assess their perception of the start-up entrepreneurship ecosystem in Aracaju-SE. Through the answers obtained, a comparison was made, providing the analysis of evidence that resulted in conclusions on the part of the researcher. Among the conclusions, it was observed that the investigated Sergipe startups operate mostly in an empirical way and generally do not rely on external assistance to fund their activities.
