This research is carried out in order to be able to identify whether project management is used in the field of start ups in certain geographical areas, whether it adds value to the start up, and which approach of project management is used, if any. It has been concluded from the literature that there are many ways of linking project management with start ups since the two fields share parallels. Data are collected by means of online surveys with closed ended questions that give semi- quantitative results; which , although limiting, are appropriate as a primary source of information.
