An exploratory case study on youth start-ups was conducted so as to investigate what trouble factors the youth entrepreneurs faced during the venturing processes from opportunity recognition to the following business development. Also, how to avoid and get over those trouble factors were examined in this paper. According to the results of multi-case analysis, it is found that there might be a few successful youth start-ups in such higher value-added industries as game software, information & communication, media software, and bioscience. Overall, analysis on trouble factors in youth start-ups indicates that youth entrepreneurs would suffer from financial shortage, chronic deficit, unforeseen accident, and human resource deficiency. Based upon case analysis, policy implications for revitalization of the youth start-ups were proposed in this paper.
