Abstract
supporting institutions had played a significant role in the development of startups all over the world. In the last two decades, various supporting institutions such as incubators and science and technology parks have been established to support startups in the country. This study aims to investigate the factors affecting the successful exit rate of startups accepted in these centers in Kermanshah province. For this purpose, the Logit and Propit approach is used. The number of employees, the CEO's education level, and the age of units were information that we got from the incubators and science and technology parks. The results of the paper show that the number of employees and the level of education of the CEO has a positive effect on the success rate of the investigated startup in this paper. On the other hand, the increase in the age of technology units, which indicates their presence in the investigated parks, has a negative effect on the success of start-ups.
