A belated happy global entrepreneur week!

Hello! Bonjour! Hola! Shalom!

We just finished Global Entrepreneur Week (#GEW on Twitter). No matter where you were last week, there were events focused on entrepreneurs! We think this is awesome (Junar is, after all, a start-up and we’re entrepreneurs ourselves).

To continue the spirit of last week's celebrations, we’d like to share with you some data on global  entrepreneurship, including this data stream about the events that took place last  week.   

We also want to mention that most of the  data we are sharing in this post comes from the research done by our friends at Global Entrepreneur Monitor (aka our “GEM” friends).

So, without further ado: some data on all of the entrepreneurs in the world.

This dashboard  is a great place to check out  lots of great stats and graphs about entrepreneurship.

Meanwhile, this is a good round-up of some world entrepreneurship indicators for 2010.

We also have some country specific entrepreunership indicators. Check out the business start-up scene in Israel, Latin America, and France, for example.


 

Junar: What´s next for this latin american startup getting to the US ?

We started with an idea... we got awesome investors... we´ve been semi-finalists at MIT 100k... we leverage nearshore (awesome team in Chile and Costa Rica)... we launched... we are getting traction and users... start up chile grant

So what's next ?

So many things, but some key ones that will make the difference.

#1 - Keep getting closer to US market. We are already operating in the US and targeting the US market. We now need to formalize this operation and get even closer to our main market.

#2 - Keep communicating our message. Even if NY Times technology and Venture Beat got part of our message, we need to keep that effort up. Next week we´ll participate in Data2Con and we´ll present at a Tech Meetup in Palo Alto. We will be around a lot of smart folks that understand the data revolution that is coming and we´ll keep listening to feedback.

#3 - Continue delivering a kick ass product. We launched, we got traffic and users, we got feedback... and we are working hard based on our users feedback to improve our initial Beta version into something that our users love. We are already allowing users to make sense out of data dispersed in the web (check Syria, Yemen, or political facts worldwide dashboards for examples of data from the web organized by users).

Please keep providing us with good feedback.
