description At the present, the concept of ‘startup’ has been rapidly and globally spread. Startups are emerging companies with scalable business models, generally linked to innovation and technological developments, mass sales oriented and then designed to grow fast. The profitability derived from their development leads a large number of entrepreneurs and investors to participate towards their expansion. However, it is significant the number of startups that are dissolved each year, as only one out of ten emerging companies continue operative after three years of operation, which is mainly due to the value proposition and financial needs inherent to its development. Therefore, in order to promote their growth, several actors have been created, who represent currently the international entrepreneurial ecosystem. The aim of this article is not only to develop the concept of startup, but to study the evolution of investment and its geographical distribution, identifying those agents that have arisen in response to the expansion and development of these new companies.
