Metrics That Matter
InBIA Impact Survey
| |
|
BIANYS is teaming up with InBIA (the International Business Innovation Association) to collect data from our members on the incubation and acceleration of startups statewide, nationally, and internationally. If you participate in the survey you will be able to access data on incubation that can help with your own programming and reporting, while BIANYS will be able to obtain important data for our members at a statewide level.
The Impact Index, a report that provides global insights on the impact of entrepreneur support and identifies ESO benchmarks of operations and success. This information helps InBIA and the practitioners we serve showcase the why of entrepreneur support and give ESO managers a sense of the industry standard for similar organizations.
But this effort won’t be as effective without you! We need to collect as much
data as possible to create a robust industry report, so we are asking you to take a few minutes to complete the survey. By completing the survey you will receive preferred access to the FY23 Impact Index.
Not the person who has all the information? Please pass this request along to the one who does to make sure your organization is represented in this important industry project.

Starting this work early keeps it easier and more affordable than trying to assemble the documentation retroactively. This session will examine the categories of Due Diligence needed for these engagements, the overlap with your existing diligence for compliance, existing systems for creating due diligence data rooms and a due diligence checklist.
