Impact Index Survey
for Entrepreneurship Centers
As a valued member of the entrepreneurship community, we would like to invite you to play an important role in this year’s report on the impact of entrepreneurial support programs.
By participating as a respondent, your information will contribute to a national dataset with the potential to bring unprecedented resources back to your organization. The data will be aggregated across as many entrepreneurship centers as we can capture, so you will be able to use it to help with future planning, obtaining funding, and developing critical partnerships for your organization.
As you are completing the survey, you will be asked to answer questions about your program’s financials in FY2023. To speed up the process of completing the survey, be sure to have that information handy. Here are all the survey questions for reference.
The goals of the IMPACT Index include establishing best practices for and proving the efficacy of incubators, accelerators, coworking spaces, and other types of entrepreneurship centers across the United States.
The IMPACT Index survey results will help identify key trends in the industry and will also create a searchable database to allow users to track performance metrics across comparable programs. The metrics can assist your program in accessing additional funds and proving impact/growth to your stakeholders.
