Transition to a circular economy is one of the challenges of the present century, demanding significant transformations in production and consumption systems. The study aims to explore the role of Startups as agents of change, catalysts of this transition process, identifying sectoral and geographical tendency. A descriptive, qualitative-hermeneutic methodological approach was adopted. Documentary data sources are considered, as well as existing databases on the registration of circular Startups globally and distributed across various sectors. Results reveal how these emerging companies are redefining business models, embracing innovation, and challenging current economic paradigms. The study contributes to the empirical systematization that enriches the field of knowledge regarding the study categories.

Keywords : Circular economy; Startups; business model; sustainable innovation; entrepreneurial ecosystem.
