One recurring message we’re getting from the dozens of founders who’ve completed our survey is: thanks for conducting this important research.

You won’t be surprised to learn that we also believe the research is important, and that’s why we’re repeating our request for founders to take five minutes and fill out the survey.  

The responses to the survey form the core of our annual Atlantic Canada Startup Data report, which has become the benchmark for the region’s startup community. Hundreds of people download the report each year, and policymakers across the region tell us they rely on the report to understand the dynamics of the startup sector.

By completing our simple, 12-question survey, you’re helping to ensure we have the best information possible when compiling the report, which feeds through to the people making decisions on the support programs in the region.

You can find the survey by clicking on this image:

Our survey comprises a mere 12 questions and it's 100 percent confidential. We do NOT publish data on individual companies, only aggregated data. You can skip any question you would prefer not to answer.

For responses to be accepted, founders need to meet our three criteria for a startup: 1. An Atlantic Canadian-owned company; 2. Commercializing innovation; and 3. Making a product for a global market.

To show our appreciation for your participation, we will donate $10 to the Canadian Mental Health Association for each completed survey we accept by Feb. 29. We’re capping this at 200 responses, so we could donate as much as $2000.

The responses are flowing in, but we need more – a lot more. So please take a few minutes today and get the completed surveys into us.
