"Entrepreneurial Impact" was conducted by Edward B. Roberts and Charles Eesley of the MIT Sloan School of Management, and is based on a 2003 survey of all living MIT alumni, with additional detailed analyses, including recent verification and updating to 2006 of revenue and employment figures. The study was released at a briefing on Capitol Hill today hosted by the Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship, whose mission it is to advance innovation and catalyze economic growth beyond "small business" to debates on science, technology, engineering and research.

The overall MIT entrepreneurial environment, consisting of multiple education, research and social network institutions, contributes to this outstanding and growing entrepreneurial output.
