Abstract

Based on a broad empirical fieldwork, the study is pioneer in presenting the key features of the emerging group of start-ups originated in Spain that are landing in SV since 2011. The study reveals the variables linked to the founder ́s profile, the firm ́s attributes and the performance itself, which have a significant impact over the profitability and the revenues growth in this category of firms, from quantitative and qualitative data directly collected on the field. Application of descriptive and multivariate statistical techniques leads to a series of findings of great interest, and will discover the key variables the Spanish entrepreneurs must meet in order to grow and become profitable.
