Collecting entrepreneurship data and measuring the results of supporting
businesses is an important aspect of effective entrepreneurship-led
economic development. Equally important is how practitioners share the
impact of their work through that data. What are the best practices for
collecting data and how can the results be crafted into a compelling
story? In this interactive webinar, you will learn about the experiences of
long-time ecosystem builders in Fort Worth, Texas, Rochester, New York,
and Kansas City, Missouri. These experts will share the stories of their
successes to meet stakeholder goals and showcase their work. We will
also touch on data collection for entities with multiple organizations and
reporting collective impact. SourceLink is a national organization working
