  • Abstract:
  • Entrepreneurial education plays a pivotal role in equipping individuals with the knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary for launching and managing successful start-ups. This study explores the impact of entrepreneurial education and funding support on start-up performance, focusing on the relationship between education levels and business outcomes. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, incorporating quantitative data from structured surveys and qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews with 210 entrepreneurs who graduated from entrepreneurial programs. Secondary data on start-up performance metrics, including revenue growth, innovation, and longevity, was also analyzed. The results reveal a strong positive correlation between the level of education impact and start-up performance. Entrepreneurs with "Very High" education impact consistently demonstrated superior performance, achieving higher revenue growth, scalability, and market adaptability compared to those with "Moderate" or "Low" education impact. While funding support also showed a positive relationship with performance, its influence was less pronounced than education. These findings highlight that financial resources alone are insufficient to guarantee success, underscoring the critical role of structured and experiential entrepreneurial education. This research aligns with existing literature emphasizing the importance of entrepreneurial education but also identifies gaps, particularly regarding the integration of funding and education. The study's implications are significant for educators, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. Educators can design curricula that emphasize experiential learning, while entrepreneurs are encouraged to leverage education for better decision-making and innovation. Policymakers should prioritize investments in entrepreneurial education to foster economic growth and innovation. Despite its contributions, the study acknowledges limitations such as geographic focus, sample size, and reliance on self-reported data. Future research should explore cross-cultural comparisons, longitudinal effects, and the integration of digital tools in entrepreneurial education. Overall, this work provides valuable insights for enhancing entrepreneurial ecosystems and fostering sustainable start-up success.
