A new report released today by Ernst & Young, Global Entrepreneurship Monitor and Endeavor, entitled 2011 High-impact entrepreneurship global report, provides insights into the characteristics of high-growth, high-impact entrepreneurs. The report is based on a survey of more than 800,000 people in 60 countries worldwide of whom over 70,000 were entrepreneurs.

The survey found that these high-impact entrepreneurs (estimated growth of >20% per annum) 1 usually start their companies when they are between 26 and 45 years old. They are more likely than entrepreneurs from lower-growth companies and the general population to have college or graduate degrees and they are likely to work in partnerships. Also, high-impact entrepreneurs are most likely to conduct a significant portion of their business internationally.
