This study investigates the influence of green investments, government policy, and resource management on the financial performance of start-ups in Central Java. Employing a quantitative research design, data was gathered from 40 start-ups across various industries and analyzed using multiple regression techniques. The findings indicate that green investments, supportive government policies, and effective resource management each significantly contribute to improved financial performance, with their interactive effects producing even greater benefits. The study provides empirical evidence supporting the integration of sustainable practices, strategic resource management, and alignment with supportive government policies as crucial factors for start-up success. It also highlights the synergistic impact of these factors, suggesting that a holistic approach to business strategy can lead to superior financial outcomes. This research contributes to the understanding of how start-ups can optimize their performance through sustainability and strategic alignment in emerging markets, offering insights that are valuable for both business leaders and policymakers.
