Venture accelerators are entrepreneurial development instruments that help startups grow in their earliest stages. Accelerators have proliferated in the United States and other developed countries despite the debate regarding their real value to entrepreneurs and ecosystems. New entrepreneurial development instruments are key to Latin America's economic growth. Accelerators have gained traction in the region, and more Latin American countries are implementing them to boost the success of local entrepreneurs. Through a series of interviews with scholars, accelerator executives, venture capital investors, and entrepreneurs, I explore the key strategies and characteristics of successful accelerators and propose a set of design drivers to better adapt the model to Latin American realities.

Entrepreneurship drives growth in any economy. It is about combining people with good ideas, vision, and courage, who risk their own capital—and their investors'—to develop new products and services. It is about innovation, technology development, and wealth creation. As a field of research and education, it is relatively new, and in the case of Latin America, it is full of promise. Studies undertaken by Babson College, one of the world's premier centers of entrepreneurship, show that Latin America is a hotbed of new business creation, but largely without the educational or institutional infrastructure to support it. This volume, the first of its kind, documents the initial state of the art in Latin American entrepreneurship—in practice, research, and education. This volume, the first of its kind, documents the initial state of the art in Latin American entrepreneurship—in practice, research, and education. Featuring contributions from local experts, the book explores a wide range of issues, including startups, venture capital and angel financing, technology incubators, family businesses, and management and gender issues, against the backdrop of innovations in education and government policies designed to develop entrepreneurial skills and promote economic growth through new business creation.

This book identifies the potential of intellectual property as a competitive asset for Latin American firms. The authors employ a cognitive approach that involves identifying why small firms are reluctant to register patents, resorting rather to alternative IP competitive strategies. This, in turn, results in the undercapitalization of intellectual assets, thus creating hurdles for the development of capital venture markets. Using new data gathered from highly innovative SMEs in Latin America and the Caribbean, the authors bring a fresh cognitive approach towards understanding the institutional role of intellectual property, and outline various new policy recommendations.

Entrepreneurship -- manifested in the entry of new firms or products into new markets, or substantial improvements in technological capacity or process innovation by incumbent firms -- is widely considered to be an important ingredient for long term economic development. This report argues that entrepreneurship is also a source of employment generation, export growth, and resilience during economic downturns. Although the conventional wisdom suggests that Latin American and Caribbean countries underperform relative to China and other emerging markets in terms of its entrepreneurial dynamism, t.
