[Purpose]In this study, we interviewed women CEO in Research Institute Companies established to identify their startup motivations, the purpose of a startup, the selection of startup items, the commercialization process, and the characteristics of women－led technology startups to provide implications and examine whether a Research Institute Spin－off Company is suitable and expandable as a women－led technology startup support system. [Methodology]This study conducted interviews with 8 women CEO of Research Institute Spin－off Companies. Through the grounded theory, the interview contents were analyzed to identify the characteristics of women－led startups. [Findings]As a result of research, it is show that a Research Institute Spin－off Company established based on public technology is a beneficial women－led technology startup support system, having the support from the INNOPOLIS, technology commercialization projects, various growth supports, and technical support from universities and research institutes. It is suggested that women－led Research Institute Spin－off Companies should be further expanded by actively discovering prospective women entrepreneurs that have a personal tendency of playing a leading role and entrepreneurship capable of building a technology startup. [Implications]This study suggests that in order to revitalize women－led technology startups, there needs to be an expansion of technology startup support programs connected to women－friendly technologies and products, expanded support and preference towards women－led Research Institute Spin－off Companies, expansion of technology and commercialization support to resolve the difficulties of technology commercialization, and personnel support to relieve the work－family balance of women entrepreneurs.
