The Corporate Startup Activity Index developed by StartupBlink is a ranking of corporations based on the strength and success of their startup activities. This initiative extends our ongoing research on startups and the innovation economy, built on our global startup ecosystem database, which includes data on 200,000+ startups and related stakeholders sourced via Crunchbase, crowdsourcing, and local data partners.
Since 2017, we have been publishing the annual Global Startup Ecosystem Index, the most comprehensive ranking of its kind, supported by 100+ government partners and data from Crunchbase, Semrush, and Statista. We are inviting corporations worldwide to participate as complimentary data partners in this Index, sharing their startup related data, to ensure accurate representation in the Index for their startup activity, and also leverage the benefits of increased visibility, valuable benchmarks, and global recognition.
To get started, simply fill out the form. Our team will contact you with further details on the partnership and get any questions you might have.
What Does It Measure?
The Corporate Startup Activity Index evaluates corporations across three key dimensions, providing a holistic view of their startup engagement:
- Corporation Level: Assesses the corporation’s internal startup programs, investments, and innovation initiatives.
- Startup Level: Measures the success of startups associated with the corporation, including alumni achievements and funding milestones.
- Ecosystem Level: Evaluates the corporation’s broader impact, such as partnerships and collaborations with ecosystem players.
These dimensions together provide a clear picture of a corporation’s startup activity.
Purpose
The Index serves as both a benchmarking tool and a recognition resource for corporations’ efforts in the global startup ecosystem. It allows them to:
- Demonstrate Impact: Showcase the effectiveness of your startup programs and innovation initiatives to the world.
- Attract startups: Our ranking provides credibility and visibility, making top-ranked programs more attractive to startups.
- Establish Leadership: Accurately position your corporation as an active stakeholder in the global startup ecosystem.
