摘要

新冠肺炎疫情已成为全球性问题，对资本市场和全球经济产生重大影响;据估计，其影响甚至超过了以往的全球衰退。在此期间，由于疫情的影响，创业公司比以往任何时候都更容易失败或更快成功;然而，由于大流行的速度比学者们快，他们面临的挑战尚未得到明确的审视。因此，本研究通过采访15家知名创业公司的联合创始人来调查伊朗创业公司面临的主要挑战。研究结果通过两步编码进行分析，并在邀请创业公司联合创始人、政策制定者和学者参加的焦点小组会议上讨论。据透露，需要解决的挑战主要有六类，包括财务、人力资源管理、支助措施和机制、营销、危机管理以及其他一些挑战。

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic: challenges among Iranian startups

Abstract The coronavirus outbreak has become a global issue with significant effects on capital markets, and the global economy; its impacts are estimated to be even more than the previous global recessions. In this interim, due to the impacts of this pandemic, startups are more prone to fail or succeed faster than ever before; however, the challenges they face are not yet clearly scrutinized, as the pandemic was faster than scholars. This study therefore investigates the main challenges of Iranian startups by interviewing the co-founders of fifteen well-known startups. The findings are analyzed through two-step coding, and findings were discussed in a focus group session to which startup co-founders, policymakers, and scholars were invited. It was revealed that there are six principal types of challenges to be addressed, including financial, human resources management, support measures and mechanisms, marketing, crisis management, as well as some others.
