The Center for High-Impact Entrepreneurship at Endeavor and the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor have conducted a study to understand the characteristics and attributes of high-impact entrepreneurs. These entrepreneurs are defined as individuals who launch and lead companies with above average impact in terms of job creation, wealth creation, and the development of entrepreneurial role models. The study used data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor's surveys of over 800,000 randomly selected adults in over 60 countries to classify more than 70,000 active entrepreneurs by estimated rates of growth. The study found that high-impact entrepreneurs are key to fostering long-term economic growth and that understanding their characteristics and attributes is important for policymakers and organizations interested in scalable ways to drive economic development.
