The present study examines the phenomenon of development-focused entrepreneurship support (DFES) a distinct and emerging set of organizational practices oriented toward facilitating the founding and scaling of innovative startups in developing economies, with particular emphasis on generating positive developmental impact alongside commercial viability. The paper further situates DFES within the broader entrepreneurial turn in international development a paradigmatic shift away from traditional top-down aid models toward more flexible, bottom-up, and locally responsive strategies. The analysis demonstrates that iDFESOs occupy a distinctive position within global aid chains, integrating sustainable development and social impact agendas into entrepreneurial support processes. The findings contribute to the growing literature on social entrepreneurship, development-oriented innovation, and the institutionalization of ES in emerging economies, while offering practical implications for policymakers, development agencies, and support organizations seeking to foster impactful entrepreneurship in resource-constrained environments.
