This study aims to propose a framework to map the startup ecosystem in the city of Porto Alegre. A framework-based review was used, and secondary data were collected from reports on the city of Porto Alegre and the state of Rio Grande do Sul. As a result, a framework for startup ecosystems was created with six dimensions: sustainability, economic, social, human capital, infrastructure, and political-legal. The results show Porto Alegre as one of the top 5 cities in the Brazilian innovation ecosystem. For example, in the economic dimension of the Ranking of Competitiveness of Municipalities, Porto Alegre ranks 2nd; in the infrastructure dimension, the city ranks 5th. Additionally, challenges and opportunities are outlined. The use of this framework proved to be valid for this mapping, and thus, we consider this work a form of validation for the innovation ecosystem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
