We’re into the home stretch with the Entrevestor Survey, and we’re really heartened by the response from the startup community.

Almost half the startups in the region have completed the survey, and I can’t thank enough the people who have taken the time to submit the form.

But we still need to receive more surveys. The more founders that complete this form, the better our data is for the entrepreneurial community. We want to be able to leave this exercise with a clear picture of what is happening in the startup world, now that startups are becoming a substantial slice of the regional economy.

This data helps people in the community demonstrate what is taking place with startups. Recently in this space, we had an outpouring of support for the development of a regional investment tax credit. How can the community persuade governments that enhanced tax credits are a worthwhile initiative? By presenting them with the proper data.

When you take three minutes to complete one of our surveys, you’re helping develop the data that is the benchmark for the startup community. Governments in the region use this data when they debate policy, and it’s in our best interest to make it as thorough as possible.

So if you are a founder who hasn’t yet filled out the survey, please click here and fill it in. We guarantee complete confidentiality.
