Our news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Federal University Santa Maria: “Thus, a systematic review of 33 articles and a meta-analysis using the Apriori algorithm were used. We mapped 14 investment risks faced by startup investors, classifying them into four dimensions: external, internal, human, and capital. Furthermore, by using the Apriori algorithm, dependency relations between nine investment risks were observed.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “This research fills a gap related to the non-structuring of a holistic approach to the investment risks startup investors face. In addition, a comprehensive review of and a discussion about the relation between investment risks provides a theoretical foundation for startups’ investments based on analyzing the risks inherent to this activity.”
