The results allowed the generation of a conceptual model that relates the incubator/accelerators, scientific base of articles, analysis tool, Lean Startup methodology, lines of entrepreneurship, base of entrepreneurs, finally concluding that the UNAH has the necessary components for its consideration and testing.
