The LSE Ecosystem model or LSE Incubator focuses in the structures and processes that are needed to support the solid development of ideas, start ups and SMEs into strong businesses, in the Portuguese software market.In 2007 Portugal was one of the countries with lowest private equity funding on entrepreneurship, only 0.1% of GDP. Measures were taken to improve this and now Portugal has registered the highest increase in investment being made in the entrepreneurial ICT sector, increasing 143.1% in 2008, of which 30% were in ICT start ups. However this growth hasn't been accompanied by an increase in business support. It lacks structures that can help to generate more efficient and productive results, especially in this sector where outcome of investments is still low.Furthermore market studies conducted in Portuguese Computer Science Universities demonstrated that there are 27.8% IT students who have a business idea and want to become entrepreneurs, however only 6.4% do so. The other 21.4% are unused potential. Only 2.6% of IT students have any kind of support.This has opened the opportunity to find a way to provide the missing element to Portuguese software market entrepreneurs - Increasing the quantity and quality of support to their businesses and ideas, to improve their performance.With this in mind two structures were crafted to generate this strong growth - The Web Platform 2.0 and The Incubator - that work sequentially, with the first one focusing on quantity, and the second on quality of support.Web Platform 2.0 was inspired in Facebook, and will bring the social web communities effect of exponential increase of users into the entrepreneurial market, by making a social web community where the profiles are businesses and ideas (instead of personalities like in Facebook). This will generate a large volume of users that can find here a space to network, create events, marketing and having basic support with webcasts and free downloads, having the capacity to host 6500 users by year 5.The Incubator was designed by benchmarking the best Incubation models around the world. It selects the top 3% businesses out of the Web Platform 2.0, providing them strong support for their business development and establishment in the Portuguese and international markets. The support will be given both at a physical space and virtually in Lisbon, allowing having a countrywide reach of 250 businesses.Besides these two main products there will also be 2 more products in the Web Platform 2.0 - web marketing and prime community membership, that provide better conditions for a fee, and 3 more products in the Incubator - SME consulting, InAccess fee and Incubator Stake, that will provide the same services of Incubator, charge a fee for Investors to have the opportunity of funding Incubator businesses and acquire a participation of 3% in each incubated business respectively. These are non core products that will enable to potentiate profits to the LSE Incubator.Considering a 10 years frame, the LSE Incubator will have an impact of at least 4.6% (NPV value) in the software economy in Portugal, equivalent having one more company like Accenture.The mission of this project is to enable this value generation to the software the economy to keep on growing sustainably, making Portugal a very competitive country in terms of software business production.The Key drivers are therefore People - Clients, Workers and Partners. The LSE Incubator must be able to have many clients, of which some will be outstanding. Workers at the Incubator must have valuable business and IT experience to pass on to these elite clients. Thirdly are the partners who can provide the right tools for development of workers and clients.
