The 2015 Global Startup Ecosystem Ranking is live!
Compass is a provider of automated reporting and benchmarking software for 34,000 startups and tech companies around the globe. Compass, formerly Startup Genome, has previously published three critically acclaimed reports on startups. The 2012 Startup Ecosystem Report was downloaded more than 100,000 times, added to the curriculum of more than 100 universities, and written about in more than 100 publications, including The Financial Times, The Economist, and The Wall Street Journal.
In September 2011, the team wrote a blog post about the coming “Entrepreneurial Enlightenment” and the factors behind its emergence. The era is in full bloom now and there has never been a better time to be a tech entrepreneur, as entrepreneurs are now blessed with the tools, resources, and market conditions to scale a company to billion dollar “Unicorn” status faster than ever before.
It has been almost three years since the last Startup Ecosystem Report was released in November 2012, and since then the startup sector has grown at a booming pace. The centerpiece of the 2015 Startup Ecosystem Ranking is our updated and revamped component index, which ranks the top 20 startup ecosystems around the world. The index is produced by ranking ecosystems along five major components: Performance, Funding, Talent, Market Reach, and Startup Experience.
