Researching Topics for Research Reports: Survey Design and Analysis for a Venture Capital

Ecliptic Capital (EC) is a venture capital firm, that makes a case for capturing, developing, and scaling a range of emergent technologies from talented entrepreneurs from often neglected geographies and industries. Aligning with their focus on operational excellence, building rich relationships, and transparency to create value, trust, and insights over time, they want to publish research reports on various topics their ecosystem might be interested in. The purpose of this capstone project was to support the team to: (1) Identify and document the various topics stakeholders are interested in; (2) Compare and evaluate the relevance (to EC’s work focus) and priority of these topics; (3) Compile an analysis report of the survey and provide them with a list of topics for research reports. Insights were gained from analyzing raw data of a survey, shared with Ecliptic’s ecosystem.
