A founder interest is the founding of one enterprise by one founder, either alone or together with other founders. A founder may have more than one founder interest during the measurement period. All tables are currently offered with a limited number of cross-referenced variables, pending an assessment related to the protection of sensitive information. Founders with multiple founder interests during the year are distributed according to the characteristics of the founded enterprises with an equal fraction. Enterprises are counted as new the year they are registered, whether they started up with activity this year or not.
