Startup Tracker for Accelerators
+ Incubators.
Stop Chasing Data. Start Measuring Impact.
Accelerators and incubators lose countless hours on manual data collection to understand and report their impact. Gathering data from multiple sources and asking entrepreneurs to answer ongoing startup surveys is time-consuming, unreliable, and often incomplete.
Our Startup Tracker Dashboard for accelerators and incubators provides comprehensive, verifiable, and up-to-date insights — automatically tracking startups currently and previously enrolled in your programs — and freeing your team to focus on what matters: supporting entrepreneurs and economic success.
The Problem:
Survey Fatigue and Fragmented Data
Startup Tracker reduces manual data collection that leads to incomplete reports, ensuring you meet the impact data needs of your team, board, community and government stakeholders.​​
CHALLENGES
Low Response Rates: Busy startups don’t appreciate ongoing survey requests.
Short-Term View: After program participation, data collection is more difficult and less accurate over time.
Resource Strain: Staff time, data experience, and IT capacity are all limited.
Disconnected Data: Mixed collection methods create inconsistent records.
COSTS
Gaps in Reporting: Incomplete data makes it hard to meet reporting requirements.
Missing the Full Story: Low confidence in long-term data for individual and aggregate startup outcomes.
Wasted Time: Staff are scraping data instead of better impact storytelling.
Lack of References: Unreferenced data sources can erode credibility.
