Founder Journey Survey
Hey there!

We’re currently conducting a survey of the Australian Startup Ecosystem to better understand how we can support founding teams through education. We want to better understand challenges and gaps that founders have experienced along their journey.

This survey will take you no longer than 10 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. We really appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions. They will go a long way when helping us understand the challenges the ecosystem is facing.

3. If you have raised investment, is there anything that you ‘wished you knew’ at the time that you raised?
4. What are some core areas that you have looked for external support in as your business has grown?
5. As a startup grows, so does all of its parts—from marketing to sales to product to technology. However, a part that can lag behind is the founding team's transition to becoming C-Suite executives in their own business. What are the skills (hard and soft) and knowledge that you think are needed to help a founder make this transition successfully?
6. How do you utilise mentors and advisors? When have they worked for you, and when haven’t they?
7. When you have a difficult decision to make, do you seek advice and/or what process do you go through to arrive at a final answer?
8. Have you considered implementing a formal board for your business?
