Abstract (Swedish)
Forskningsfråga:
Skiljer sig startupbolags relativa värden mellan olika geografiska områden i Sverige och om så är fallet, kan innovationskraften och tillgången till riskkapital i områdena förklara denna skillnad?

Syfte:
Studien ämnar att härleda huruvida de relativa värdena på startupbolag skiljer sig mellan olika geografiska områden i Sverige, samt att undersöka om områdenas innovationskraft och tillgång till riskkapital kan förklara denna eventuella variation.

Metod:
Studien antar en deduktiv ansats och följer en tvärsnittsdesign. Genom en kvantitativ metod genomförs en analys av medelvärden och en multipel regression.

Teori:
Studiens teoretiska ramverk grundas dels i Social Network Theory (SNT), som behandlar hur... (More)

Metod:
Studien antar en deduktiv ansats och följer en tvärsnittsdesign. Genom en kvantitativ metod genomförs en analys av medelvärden och en multipel regression.

Teori:
Studiens teoretiska ramverk grundas dels i Social Network Theory (SNT), som behandlar hur möjligheter uppstår inom och mellan sociala nätverk. Vidare tillämpar studien klusterteori, vilken fokuserar på hur bolag i hög koncentration har möjlighet att dra nytta av varandra.

Resultat:
Resultatet visar att startupbolags relativa värden skiljer sig mellan olika geografiska områden i Sverige. Studien kan dessutom påvisa att patentansökningar och tillgång till riskkapital kan förklara delar av denna variation.

Slutsats:
Studien konstaterar att startupbolag drar nytta av att bedriva sin verksamhet i innovativa miljöer där koncentrationen av riskkapitalbolag är hög. Vidare kan värdeskillnaderna förklaras med hjälp av klusterteori och SNT. (Less)
Abstract
Research question:
Do the relative valuations of startup companies differ across different geographical regions in Sweden, and if so, can the innovation capacity and access to venture capital in these areas explain this difference?

Purpose:
The study aims to determine whether the relative valuations of startups differ across different geographical regions in Sweden and to investigate whether the innovation capacity and availability of venture capital in these areas can explain any potential variation.

Methodology:
The study has a deductive approach and the investigation is of a cross-sectional design. Through a quantitative method, an analysis of means as well as a multiple regression is conducted.

Theory:
The study builds... (More)

Purpose:

Methodology:
The study has a deductive approach and the investigation is of a cross-sectional design. Through a quantitative method, an analysis of means as well as a multiple regression is conducted.

Theory:
The study builds upon cluster theory and Social Network Theory (SNT). While cluster theory emphasizes the importance of geographical concentrations of organizations, SNT focuses on how entrepreneurs can create competitive advantages by using gaps in social networks.

Results:
The results of the study indicate that the number of patent applications and the availability of venture capital in a region have a significant impact on the average relative value of startups within that region.

Conclusion:
The study finds that startup companies benefit from operating in innovative environments where the concentration of venture capital firms is high. Furthermore, the differences in value can be explained using cluster theory and SNT. (Less)
