This study examines the institutional mechanisms required to strengthen the integration of higher education
graduates into the entrepreneurial environment. The analysis reveals that limited access to financial resources, weak
development of venture funding, and insufficient entrepreneurial competencies remain major constraints for graduate
start-ups. The research demonstrates that expanding guarantee mechanisms, improving university–industry cooperation,
and diversifying early-stage financing tools can significantly enhance graduates’ entrepreneurial activity
