SomosVC

Calling on all early-stage founders! Our friends at January Ventures are currently conducting their 6th annual company building survey to build off of prior years’ research and deepen understanding of the current landscape for founders. The survey (which takes <10 mins to complete) will help better serve founders and be instrumental in understanding the current market. In past years, the research has uncovered key insights into: - The importance of networks - Founder optimism - Experiences of founders with different backgrounds Your voice is important and we hope you’ll take the time to participate! You can take the founder survey here: https://lnkd.in/eMWZ68-W
