Venture Forward and UCLA Anderson Forecast launch new microbusiness index
UCLA Anderson Forecast economists Leila Bengali and William Yu, in partnership with Venture Forward by GoDaddy, have created a pioneering index to track the activity of online microbusinesses across multiple dimensions.
They’re the people who build websites, run restaurants, and offer classes online. But their impact has largely gone unnoticed. Our mission is to change that. We use data to show policy makers how microbusinesses make communities more prosperous and resilient.
Venture Forward opened our eyes to just how big of a venture market we have in Gilbert…That ultimately led to the funding of $18 million worth of business recovery funds.”
