창업기업확인제도에 따른 창업범위 판단기준에 관한 개념적 연구: 법률상 인정기준과 제외기준을 중심으로

Are all startups eligible for support from the startup support policy? The Startup Support Act stipulates the scope of startups as the target of support policies. Due to the diversity of startup trends and startup companies (additional startups, re-startups, serial startups, multi-startups, etc.), there are various issues regarding the recognition and exclusion criteria. The scope of startups according to the startup verification system is basically subject to the recognition and exclusion criteria. From a policy perspective, both positive and negative factors such as promotion policies and regulatory policies are applied simultaneously. These judgment criteria require a rational perspective so that newly emerging startup forms are not discouraged along with regulations. From a traditional perspective, manufacturing startups and job creation through them were the center of policy values, but recently, various forms of startups such as technology startups and innovation startups are changing the startup paradigm (manufacturing startups → technology startups → innovation startups). The fundamental question of this study is, ‘What criteria will be used to determine the scope of a startup?’ And ‘What is the basic logic of the criteria for determining the scope of a startup?’In this study, first, from the conceptual, policy, and legal perspectives of startups, we derive the main judgment factors for setting the scope of a startup, second, we derive propositions for the basic logic of the criteria for determining the scope of a startup, third, we review the appropriateness of the criteria for excluding the scope of a startup, and so on, to derive a framework for determining the scope of a startup.
