CAUSEE, or The Comprehensive Australian Study of Entrepreneurial Emergence research project provides an exciting opportunity to fundamentally improve our understanding of independent entrepreneurship in Australia. It will be the largest study of business start-ups ever undertaken in Australia, and the only large-scale study to track particular ventures over time.

The study plans to identify a large sample of approximately 800 emerging (but not yet operating) business start-ups, and will track them over four years. CAUSEE is focused on following start-up businesses from their inception.

The project also plans to identify a sample of approximately 800 newly established young firms that have commenced trading. In addition, high potential, high growth firms will also be sought as a separate sample.

Two preliminary reports from the CAUSEE project wave 1 data have been released:
