Using Data Insights to Support Entrepreneurs
Our Venture Forward research initiative goes beyond merely reporting on the findings of our proprietary small business data analyses. We use our research to proactively engage and support civic leaders, policymakers and influencers who care deeply about nurturing entrepreneurial growth in communities around the world. We also dive deeply on trending topics to develop unique insights on the perspectives of small business owners. Here are a few examples. More are available on the Venture Forward website
- Venture Forward was proud to host a panel at the African American Mayor's Association Conference in Washington, D.C., with Mayor Bibb (Cleveland) and Mayor Cantrell (New Orleans).
- Microbusinesses have a impact on local economies creating significantly more value than the income they generate for their owners.
- In Spring 2023, GoDaddy surveyed U.S. small businesses on their biggest challenges, their perception of generative Al, and their use of generative Al to overcome challenges.
- A use case of a husband and wife team in England, as part of a greater look at the cost-of-living crisis that threatens the British microbusiness economy.
