A Diagnosis and Treatment Model for Start-Ups: Doping Project

DOPING takes (a goal based) objective oriented approach to working with companies. Each company set their own goals, and therefore the definition of ‘success' varies for each company. With this project, CYBERPARK can assess start‐ups' commercialization performance, diagnose any common barriers for marketing and create a model to overcome these obstacles. Through its spill‐over effect, DOPINGmodel is considered to help foster Ankara Entrepreneurship Ecosystem and regional economy. DOPING model enables startups to benefit from mentors to convert their technological findings into a commercial product. No doubt, this project is created to provide a more efficient program proposal to both entrepreneurs and institutions by the needs of the entrepreneurs and by taking commercialization support unique to entrepreneurs. Even though it is known that commercialization‐oriented programs will not provide fast‐selling, startups have just started to think about the commercialization of their technology projects and have taken the first step to attract the investors, accelerator programs and customers (thanks to) with the crucial support of DOPING Program.
