Abstract
The rapid growth of the digital economy has driven the emergence of numerous startup companies that play a vital role as catalysts for innovation and business transformation in the modern era. However, the increasing number of startups poses a major challenge for investors in selecting the most potential and profitable investment opportunities. The main problem lies in the multi-criteria evaluation process, which involves various aspects such as market potential, product innovation, business model, team performance, and financial stability. To address this complexity, this study applies a combination of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) methods as an objective and measurable multi-criteria decision-making approach. The AHP method is utilized to determine the priority weights of each criterion through a pairwise comparison process. The results show that market potential (C1) is the most dominant criterion with a weight of 0.458, followed by product innovation (C2) with a weight of 0.247, and business model (C3) with a weight of 0.144. Meanwhile, team performance (C4) and financial stability (C5) have relatively lower weights of 0.105 and 0.046, respectively. These findings indicate that market and innovation aspects are the primary factors influencing startup investment feasibility. Furthermore, the VIKOR method is employed to rank the alternatives based on compromise solutions toward the ideal outcome. The results reveal that startup A17 has the lowest compromise value (Q = 0.0000), making it the most optimal investment alternative, followed by A4 (Q = 0.0303) and A19 (Q = 0.0586). This study demonstrates that the combination of AHP and VIKOR methods provides a comprehensive, objective, and consistent analysis in the decision-making process for digital startup investments. The proposed approach assists investors in evaluating startups more systematically and accurately based on the priority of relevant criteria in the context of the dynamic digital economy. Therefore, a decision support system based on the AHP-VIKOR method can serve as an effective solution for decision-makers to identify and select the most promising startups for future development.
