Pre-incubation programs act as catalysts in the entrepreneurial process, encouraging entrepreneurship, enhancing the founda-tions for new business development, and providing an environment for idea validation and business model structuring. The performance measurement system was developed to evaluate the pre-incubation programs performance, based on percep-tions obtained regarding the training received after managers participation from the incubated technology-based companies. The research objective was to develop a measurement system to evaluate the performance of pre-incubation programs for technology-based companies. The performance measurement system consists of a hierarchical structure with critical success factors, followed by key performance indicators with quantitative metrics, resulting in a global performance index. Finally, the performance measurement system was applied to the pre-incubation program of the technology incubators at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), demonstrating satisfactory performance across the three analyzed periods, notably ad-dressing factors related to technology and market.
Os programas de pré-incubação são catalisadores no processo de empreender, incentivando o empreendedorismo, potenciali-zando as bases para o desenvolvimento de novos negócios, além de serem ambiente para validação de ideias e formatação de modelos de negócio. Assim, um sistema de mensuração de desempenho foi desenvolvido para medir o desempenho de progra-mas de pré-incubação, com base nas percepções obtidas em relação à capacitação recebida pós participação de gestores das EBTs incubadas. O sistema de mensuração de desempenho foi aplicado no programa de pré-incubação das incubadoras tecno-lógicas da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), mostrando desempenhos satisfatórios nos três períodos analisados.
