Abstract

Entrepreneurship is essential to the growth of the economy. Their success generates international investment and expands job opportunities. Investors stand to gain significantly from the success of these high-risk businesses, which in turn enables them to support further start-ups and maintain the economic growth cycle. In order to create a trustworthy and impartial model to predict the performance of such start-ups in the Indian market, this research introduces a novel approach in the feature engineering space. Furthermore, two experiments with different sampling techniques are designed, one of which uses data from start-ups only in India and the other of which includes start-ups from all over the world. These models are assessed with the state-of-the-art evaluation metrics used in this domain. RandomForest with weighted balance sampling technique demonstrated to be the most efficient model having significant and consistent F1, recall and accuracy scores.
