Also, in terms of the data collection method, it is experimental-quantitative. The research sample pertains to investors and entrepreneurs familiar with venture capital that were assigned to two distinct groups. This research data has been collected through online distribution of the research scenarios and their questionnaire.

Then the results of the qualitative section in the form of a questionnaire were given to 28 university accelerator employees who were selected based on the Krejcie and Morgan table and the data of the quantitative section were analyzed by structural equation method and partial least squares algorithm. Qualitative sector findings include 5 dimensions (changing university culture towards accelerator, feeling the need to form an accelerator, individual capabilities, accelerator services, the role of government in launching accelerators), 11 Component (transformation in the core of university administrators, executive context, university needs, community needs, psychological capabilities, job skills, educational services, counseling services, technical services, government assistance, psychological readiness of officials) and 67 indicators Was. Quantitative findings showed a strong fit of the measurement model, structural and general.

But the role of government in the formation of accelerators does not have a direct impact on individual capabilities, and individual capabilities also have a direct impact on accelerator services.

The measurement tool is a questionnaire that has been tested by 100 randomly active business leaders in the information technology industry in Tehran, which were set up and managed as a team, by random sampling method. The data obtained from this study were analyzed using path analysis and PLS software. Cronbach's alpha for all structures was higher than 0.7 and the mean value of variance extracted was higher than 0.5 and the validity and reliability of the structures were confirmed. According to the research results, educational heterogeneity among the variables of information heterogeneity, age heterogeneity among the variables of social heterogeneity and belief heterogeneity among the variables of value heterogeneity have the highest path of impact on the performance of businesses in the field of information technology.
