Abstract

ABSTRACT Our research focuses on the aging and retirement of Main Street business owners, which start small, and likely stay small and locally focused. The average age of small business owners in many industrialized countries is on the rise, and the average term of business ownership is 30 years. We believe that entrepreneurial ecosystems are perfectly positioned to include aging business owners as key actors, but to date, they have not. We build on this idea and offer evidence through triangulation of workshop findings with themes from entrepreneurial ecosystems, resulting in four gaps in support: foundational resources, funding, events, and aging in one’s community. We hope that it will generate conversation, reflection, and actions resulting in age-friendly entrepreneurial ecosystems that serve the span between start-up and retirement.
从摇篮到坟墓:老年人友好型创业生态系统的建议
我们的研究重点是主街企业主的老龄化和退休,他们从小规模开始,可能会保持小规模和本地关注。在许多工业化国家,小企业主的平均年龄正在上升,企业所有权的平均期限为30年。我们认为,创业生态系统完全可以将老年企业主作为关键角色,但到目前为止,他们还没有做到这一点。我们以这一想法为基础,并通过对研讨会结果与创业生态系统主题的三角测量提供证据,从而得出四个支持缺口:基础资源、资金、活动和社区老龄化。我们希望它能引发对话、反思和行动,从而形成有利于老年人的创业生态系统,服务于从创业到退休的这段时间。
