Abstract

Collaboration and active interaction among people with different backgrounds is crucial in order to be able to solve complex and multidisciplinary problems experienced by start-up entrepreneurs. Their success is depending on social relations pattern over a set of persons, positions, groups, and organizations. The need for the collaboration has increased over the years as start-up entrepreneurs are competing with global players with advanced personal, financial, technological and other resources. Therefore, this paper describes and analyzes a complex collaborative environment to support knowledge sharing and coordination of actions to increase success rate of new entrepreneurs in the Zilina region. During the past seven years a collaborative environment around which motivated individuals organize themselves to attain a common objective has been developed.
