Joelias Silva Pinto Junior and Thaynara de Almeida Novaes

Abstract: 

This paper presents an analysis of the vulnerability as selection criteria for entrepreneurship incubation process. It is a study case by Ativa Business Incubator at the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso – IFMT in Brazil. Many businesses in Brazil face serious problems in the two first years of operation because of a leak of entrepreneurship education. This situation leads entrepreneurs to vulnerable situations in their business. To help them overcome this situation, we at Ativa Business Incubation offer the business incubation process. A six to ten follow-up together with the business to help them find solutions for their problems. Once we have limited resources, we need to establish a selection criteria so to assure the selected business really needs our help. We have developed and improved a method for that, which we share here as a case study based on a qualitative methodology. The results of every selection shows we have been effective in selecting businesses who really are in vulnerable situations.
