Startup Diversity Survey
Thank you for taking the time to help us map the diversity status in the startup ecosystem.

We believe that diversity is the driving force that gives startups access to good ideas, fresh perspectives, and real experience they could be lacking otherwise. It can also attract investors and customers who value businesses run by diverse teams.

With the data collected through this survey we plan to determine the current status of diversity within founding teams, the importance of diversity in the success of a startup, but also how can diversity be fostered by relevant actors of the ecosystem.

This survey will take around ⏳ 7 minutes to complete*.

*By only 1 founder per startup, by September 2
