The founders of startups in Sergipe state, Brazil, began to unite in 2012, with a purpose of strengthening the innovation ecosystem in the state. The aim of this paper was to deepen the knowledge about the entrepreneurs' movement entitled "Caju Valley", in order to propose measures to strengthen the group. From the analysis realized, it was possible to observe that the Caju Valley group, although being important to the startups' ecosystem, still suffers due to the lack of balance between the various stakeholders, and also faces the lack of maturity of the entrepreneurs, timid or suspicious investors, accelerators without effective action and incubators with low effectivity.
