The unique dataset comes from a survey of 1,970 one-pagers—one page descriptions outlining the mission statement and business plans of startups usually used when approaching potential investors. All of the one-pagers were created using an online service developed by Israel-based startup VCforU.Com Ltd., helping startups generate one-pagers by filling out an online questionnaire.
