I want to make one final call for founders to get their surveys into us. We plan to calculate everything early next week so we’re putting a Sunday night deadline on the responses.
For those who are interested, we’ve had a fantastic response to the survey. Well over half the startups we contacted have responded. When we trim off companies that have fallen by the wayside or never really got started (this is the startup world we’re talking about), we’re comfortably over half the community.
And we’ve got some tremendous data from the people who have responded – all of which will be kept confidential. We’ll publish the initial result in our first Entrevestor Intellience report of 2014, which is due out at the end of next month.
So we’re going to end up with a really good data set, but it could be better. If you run a startup (a locally owned company working an innovative, scalable product) and haven’t sent the survey in, please do so. If you need a copy of the survey, please email me at peter@entrevestor.com. I’ll send one right away.
Many, many thanks to all those that have helped with the survey, including all the groups that helped to spread the word.
