Share the Needs of Entrepreneurs

Every entrepreneur has a story, and listening is one of the most powerful ways to make change. We want to learn what’s working, what’s not, and what entrepreneurs need to thrive. Anyone can take part. Talk with one or more local entrepreneurs, business owners, or makers in your community. Use our 5-question survey to capture their experiences and insights. Every response strengthens the movement, helping shape how we talk about, support, and celebrate entrepreneurship across America.

By 2026, our goal is to collect thousands of entrepreneurial voices from every corner of the country.

How to Participate
  • Find one or more entrepreneurs. It could be someone running a small business, launching a startup, or starting something new in your community. You can gather responses anywhere: at local markets, events, coffee shops, or simply by calling a business owner you know.
  • Ask five short questions (takes just a few minutes).
  • Record their answers using the form so we can include their perspectives in our national campaign data.
  • Be sure to thank them and invite them to Become a Founder and join the movement.
We believe that simple, human conversations with entrepreneurs build understanding and drive real change.

Each completed survey lifts up the real experiences of America’s entrepreneurs and helps make entrepreneurship more supported, visible, and celebrated.
