We at BSG Team Ventures periodically take the temperature of the markets we serve. This speed survey is no more than 10 questions, virtually all simple multiple-choice. Once you answer, you immediately get the results from those who have answered before you.
Thanks to those more than 60 CEOs who participated in the Dec/January survey, which also had an economy focus. Results of those questions can be found on our blog. With everyone in the growth-stage tech and sciences innovation sector still being buffeted, in December 2008 we launched our first of a periodic series of online surveys of growth-stage CEOs to take the temperature. The first survey's responses published at the beginning of January 2009, not counter-intuitive, can best be summarized as various versions of "cold."
We make an effort to only send these surveys to those who fit the category (in this case, sitting CEOs or board member/founders of technology/science-driven early-stage investor-backed companies). [Note, if we've mistakenly sent this to you and you don't fit, please refrain from responding. Feel free to forward to the qualified CEOs in your sphere of influence. The more data generated, the more accurate the trend lines].
All responses are anonymous due to the web-based survey technology employed.
Regarding the prior speed survey results:
We're happy to report that we had statistically relevant responses from CEOs covering technology, cleantech, medical devices and biotech. We also had more than 30 CEOs want to pose their own questions to their peers. We posted these questions on the blog post, and will use them as follow-on survey material going forward. However, if you'd like to review and comment on any of those questions from other VC-backed CEOs, please feel free to post your comment and reference the question using the blog comments tool.
