Risk is a concept that is intrinsically related with the concept of entrepreneurship. Decisions are taken in context where there is little precedent on the outcomes and conditions. This means that the ability of an individual to manage and the way he perceives and reacts to risk will have an impact on the likelihood of him becoming an entrepreneur and his performance.The purpose of this study is therefore to establish a connection between an individual's relationship with risk with organizations that aim to help entrepreneurs reduce the risk and potentiate the growth of their ventures: incubation mechanisms. More precisely we look into the perception of value and the willingness to engage with these mechanisms and try to see if these are influenced by an individual's aversion or propensity to risk. We've chosen 4 different incubation mechanisms: Accelerator, Incubator, Venture Capital Firm and Start-up Studio.An online survey was conducted among Entrepreneurs and individuals who are considering starting their business. There were 68 valid responses. With this study we were not able to find a significant difference between the choices of incubators by risk averse and risk propense individuals. Similarly, we were not able to confirm that an individual's risk aversion is able to significatively predict the amount of equity he/she is disposed to exchange for the support given by different types of incubators. Lastly, our result found that there was no significant difference in risk profile between entrepreneurs who had engaged in start-up competitions and incubation programs and those that didn't.

520 $a Risco e um conceito intrinsecamente ligado ao conceito de empreendedorismo. Decisoes tem que ser tomadas num contexto onde existe pouco precedente em relacao as consequencias da mesma. A capacidade que um individuo tem de gerir o risco e a forma como este e percecionado pelo mesmo, vai ter portanto um impacto nao so na probabilidade do mesmo se dedicar ao empreendedorismo como tambem a performance das suas empresas.O proposito deste estudo e entao o de estabelecer uma conexao entre a relacao de um individuo com o risco com a forma como perceciona organizacoes que tem como objetivo reduzir o risco e potenciar o crescimento das suas empresas: os mecanismos de incubacao. Mais concretamente vamos olhar para a percecao do valor destes mecanismos e a disposicao para interagir com os mesmos, de forma a perceber se estes sao influenciados pela aversao ao risco do empreendedor. Para analisar esta questao escolhemos 4 tipos de mecanismos de incubacao: Aceleradoras, Incubadoras, empresas de capitais de risco e start-up studios.Um questionario online foi conduzido entre empreendedores e individuos que querem comecar o seu proprio negocio. Obtiveram-se um total de 68 respostas validas. Este estudo nao encontrou diferencas significativas entre as escolhas de incubacao entre individuos avessos ao risco e individuos propensos. Adicionalmente, nao foi possivel confirmar que a aversao ao risco de um individuo preve significativamente a quantidade de equity que o mesma esta disposto a trocar em troca do suporte oferecido pelos diferentes mecanismos de incubacao. Por ultimo, a nossa pesquisa nao encontrou diferencas significativas nos perfis de risco dos individuos que participaram em competicoes de start-ups e programas de incubacao.
