In order to assess the validity of content and structure validity, for reliability purposes, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and combined reliability coefficient were used. The obtained coefficients indicated the validity and reliability of the tool. Data analysis was done in two descriptive sections (mean, standard deviation, table, shape, and graph) and inferential (structural equation modeling) using SmartPLS software. Also, Friedman test was used for ranking. The results of the study showed that internal and external factors caused start-ups that internal factors with path coefficient of 0.617 were more important than external factors with path factor of 0.433.
