Phase 3 Extend Country Participants Ongoing Surveys / Outputs Research Network/Conferences

  3. Overview of funding to date Phase I: Scoping Study • Kauffman Foundation sponsorship of Scoping Study and Action Plan • International Consortium sponsored review of firm start-up data • OECD provided bridge financing and supported new Business Demography work

  4. Funding Status Phase II: Program Development • Two-year funding by Kauffman Foundation • ‘Special Project’ funding by International Consortium • OECD contributing data and infrastructure inputs • Additional sponsors still required • Shortfall of ~€200,000 over 2 years • Kauffman funding to end in late 2008 • Sponsors seeking longer-term OECD and country commitments

  5. Background Consideration • Project needs seed financing like a small business • Needs expansion funding like a HG SME • Then an IPO where countries buy the shares • Initial investors are rewarded, but not with a capital gain • Ongoing net revenue stream is always negative • No significant revenues foreseen • Propose to sell the program, not the data

  6. Long term goal • Established program in OECD work program • OECD has fixed or declining budget • Reallocation very difficult • Sponsorship funding required for “Headquarters” staff • OECD to coordinate and ensure international compilations, analysis, dissemination. • Countries required to fund data collection and inputs

  7. Why consider longer term funding now? • Sponsors already convinced of long-term need • Willingness to invest based on ongoing returns • One-off data compilations not desirable • To date, funding from major sponsors has been contingent on ongoing program
