Survey Opportunity for Founders to Share Start Up Experiences
At AZBio we regularly work with our regional and national partners to gather and share information. This allows us to both assess our progress and learn from best practices around the country. This regional information is a valuable tool in growing our Arizona start up community.
The economists in Colorado have launched a national survey to help explain what makes startup communities so special. We believe this will be a truly useful set of data for the startup ecosystem and we’re excited to see the results, which will be published in open source after the survey is complete.
AZBio Founders and Co-Founders are encouraged to participate so that that we can include an accurate portrayal of our Arizona startup ecosystem as part of the national map.
Founders and Co-Founders, this survey will take you about 8 minutes – We hope you will participate!
Click here to take the survey via Survey Gizmo.
Feel free to spread the world and share this opportunity with other Founders and CoFounders in your networks.
If you have questions about the survey, please feel free to contact:
