According to the website, GEM is the richest resource of information on the subject of entrepreneurship, publishing a range of global, national and "special topic" reports on an annual basis.

Found on the OECD's website, this is a compilation of international data on entrepreneurship from official government statistical sources.

This is an umbrella of annual reports that measure U.S. entrepreneurship across national, state and top 40 metro levels. Rather than focusing on inputs, the Kauffman Index focuses primarily on entrepreneurial outputs—the actual results of entrepreneurial activity, such as new companies, business density and growth rates.

With the goal of creating new knowledge about entrepreneurship, Kauffman conducts and supports research that informs our own education programs and that educates policymakers and the public about pro-entrepreneurship policies at all levels of government.

Currents is storytelling that illustrates Kauffman’s grantmaking, research, programs, and initiatives that support the start and growth of new businesses, a more prepared workforce, and stronger communities.

The Kauffman Foundation creates data overviews that provide guidance on how to use certain datasets. The data overviews serve several purposes:

To serve as data reference guides for academics, other data providers, or anyone interested in new research developments in entrepreneurship.

To provide short (up to two pages) overviews of data sets in one place that point to lots of relevant information but are highly curated and edited to ensure brevity and clarity.
