Thank you to all the founders and CEOs – all 120 of ‘em -- who took the time to fill in our survey in the past two weeks.

Because of your assistance, we’re announcing today that we’ll donate $1200 to the Canadian Mental Health Association -- $10 for every qualifying survey response we received by last weekend. We didn’t round this off – we got precisely 120 responses.

This marks an increase from our donation last year, and we believe the CMHA is an excellent organization for our community to support. Entrepreneurs’ mental health was already a huge concern, and the pandemic has only made it a greater worry. We hope this donation will help in a small way.

Though we have closed down our offer to make a donation for every survey response, we’re still asking founders to take the time to complete our survey. Taking about three minutes helps us to provide better data in our Atlantic Canada Startup Data report, which enriches our understanding of the Atlantic Canadian startup community. That means policy-makers have more information when they’re making decisions about the ecosystems.

What’s more, that report is a pillar of our business. So when you fill out our survey, you’re helping Entrevestor provide free news for the entire community. They are quick to complete, and 100 percent confidential.  

We still don’t have the number of completed surveys that we need, so in the coming weeks we’ll continue to ask people to fill in our surveys. Thanks again to everyone who’s helped us – or will help us – with this initiative.
