SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Startup Muster Survey 2025 (Extended Deadline)
DESCRIPTION:The Startup Muster Survey is the largest survey of Australian startups and the organisations that support them (educators\, investors\, accelerators\, incubators\, coworking spaces\, service providers\, government\, precincts and any other organisations supporting startups). \nWhy complete the survey? \n\nYou’re joining an unprecedented national effort to show the great things in Australia’s startup ecosystem. For the first time\, there are Survey Coordinators on the ground in every single state and territory\, and the national report this enables will be freely published in late 2025. Your responses will also be shared with relevant parts of Government and for research (if you give permission).\nThey have combined questions this year from many different startup supporters and government departments\, preventing a suite of new surveys. These are questions from the ecosystem\, for the ecosystem\, and they have also worked to trim 25 questions from the last survey that didn’t yield actionable data.\nYou’ll contribute to a twelve year legacy of Australian ecosystem data. Many of these questions date back to the first survey in 2013\, with a similar collection approach\, providing a unique picture of how this sector has evolved.\nYou’ll see comparison charts that show how your answers compare to other survey participants so far this year.\nYou’ll receive special offers and discounts on completion from partners.\n\nThis survey will take a while (grab a coffee)\, but you can stop any time and come back to resume later.
