A influência da governança corporativa na redução de riscos para investidores em startups

Abstract

This article investigates the application of corporate governance in the context of Brazilian startups, exploring its role in reducing financial, operational and reputational risks, enhanced by high exposure in innovative markets. Corporate governance is a system of principles, practices and processes that guide and monitor business management, promoting transparency, equity, accountability and corporate responsibility. The research methodology consists of a systematic bibliographic review, using books and scientific articles as a basis, obtained from databases such as SciELO and Google Scholar. The study concludes that corporate governance practices must be adapted to the particularities of startups, respecting their resource limitations and organizational dynamics, as well as direct benefits to startups, such as greater predictability in processes, increased market confidence and strengthening relationships with stakeholders . In this way, corporate governance emerges as an indispensable strategic element for the sustainable and competitive growth of these companies in a scenario of constant innovation. The article proposes future research on longitudinal studies that investigate the long-term impact of governance practices on startups and on the implementation of governance in different sectors or regions.
