UPSTATE, NY – (PRESS RELEASE) – Upstate Venture Connect (UVC) has just launched the first CEO Survey of Upstate NY tech companies to understand the economic footprint of high-growth businesses across the region.
UVC’s efforts to link entrepreneurs and resources across Upstate communities show there are many amazing tech companies in every community that are creating products and services used by customers around the world. However, there has been no systematic effort to determine the actual economic impact of these companies.
“We realize CEOs are busy people and have therefore created a five minute confidential survey. The results will give us the first snapshot of what these companies are doing to change our economy and create new job opportunities,” said Nasir Ali, Cofounder & CEO of Upstate Venture Connect. “We want to hear from both investor-backed and bootstrapped companies across the region,” he added.
CGR, an independent firm based in Rochester, NY has created the survey and will be analyzing the results. CEO participants can request summary data when filling out the online questionnaire.
UVC and its partner organizations across Upstate have begun the outreach to Upstate CEOs. The survey is available now at uvcdevelopment.wpengine.com/suvey.
