Acceleration - by the one accelerator only? Problems of supporting digital startups

The forms of support for the innovative activity of digital startups are developing and transforming. We see confusion in the names of various forms, as well as problems for startups in choosing the most relevant way of acceleration and incubation. In the study, we highlight the problems and risks of interaction between startups and accelerators, incubators, technology parks, corporate accelerators, venture funds, suppliers and service agencies, and start-up studios. A comparative table of priorities and involvement of various forms of start-up support was compiled, depending on the life stage of the startup, as well as depending on the resources required for development. Issues for further research are highlighted.
