3. Research and Surveys
We run surveys and research, including the annual AFC Census, to understand the Australian startup ecosystem.
Where you take part, we may collect information about you and your business, your views on the ecosystem and policy, and optional information including demographic details such as gender and age, and how you are finding the personal experience of building a company. All of this is voluntary and you can skip any question.
We publish survey results as aggregate data only. We do not publish anything that identifies you, your company or your individual responses, and we do not share individual responses with partners or sponsors.
We keep survey responses indefinitely so that we can compare results year on year and show how the ecosystem changes over time.
