Abstract

Startups are pivotal drivers of economic innovation, yet achieving sustainable growth remains a significant challenge. In Poland, while 50% of startups operate domestically, those that export generate over 50% of their revenue abroad, with 60% entering global markets at inception. Key export destinations include EU states (54%), particularly the UK (14%) and Germany (9%), while only 25% target the US. Since 2008, the US has been surpassed in startup success by countries like Denmark, Sweden, Israel, and New Zealand. Concurrently, business closures now exceed new ventures in both Poland and the US. This study argues that strategic cooperation and coopetition—collaborative yet competitive interactions—can enhance market entry, resource efficiency, and survival rates. Through empirical analysis and case studies, we propose actionable frameworks for startups to leverage alliances, mitigate risks, and optimize global competitiveness. Findings underscore the transformative potential of inter-firm collaboration in scaling startups amid evolving economic landscapes.
