Entrepreneurship ecosystem is a combination of cultural, economic, political and social elements within an area interacting with each other to entrepreneurial activity in an environment conducive. The present study aims to achieve a model for the formation of entrepreneurial ecosystem in Iran using Grounded Theory. The main basis of data collection in this theory is to conduct semi-structured interviews with knowledgeable people and experts in the field. Sampling was theoretical using non-probabilistic methods of targeted and snowball by conducting interviews with 13 experts familiar with the subject of entrepreneurship ecosystem and university professors. To ensure the validity of the Qualitative research, the necessary studies including acceptability and verifiability were performed. Hence to confirm the reliability of the interviews, the retest method and the intra-subject agreement method were used. After conducting interviews and collecting information, the obtained codes were analyzed and the final model was obtained based on the three steps of open, axial and selective coding. The final model consists of a set of central categories, causal conditions, interventionist conditions, and strategies and finally the consequences and results of the formation of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Iran. Each of these conditions and the components of the model has its own variables and categories which by paying attention to these isues achieves the ultimate goal of forming an entrepreneurial ecosystem of social and cultural development.
