. In practice, innovations are recognized as the main driving force of economic growth and are an important factor capable of solving various problems, and creating conditions for sustainable development. In this article, the main directions for improving the legal regulation of startups in our country are listed and they are analyzed based on the experience of foreign countries. In particular, the article mentions the need to improve the regulatory framework in such areas as determining the position of startups in the implementation of innovation policy, further optimizing the legal protection of the results of intellectual activity, improving the institution of pre-contractual negotiations in startup activities and improving the system of state support for startups. The article provides scientific and legal justification for such issues as determining the status of startups by a separate law, improving the norms of legislation regarding the distribution of the right to the results of a state-funded startup between the state and the owner of the project, as well as the development of pre-contractual agreements between a venture investor and a startup, as well as granting startups various government benefits.
