We’re now at 147 completed Startup Compass surveys for Ireland. An almost 6% response rate that our friends at Compass in California are calling “exceptional” considering Ireland was only added to the survey two weeks ago, and then, had only one city option: “Jakarta”.

Over the past 8 months, I’ve been putting together my own list of exceptional things about Ireland and top of the list is how incredibly robust our startup ecosystem is versus the coverage it gets internationally.

Filling out the survey will go a long way to enhancing our reputation as an innovation hub, so please startups, spend 10 minutes right now and do it.

If we complete 500 surveys by the mid June deadline maybe we’ll throw ourselves a party using my (currently non existent) international PR budget. It would be worth every penny of it.
