Philly regional entrepreneurship lagging, says annual Kauffman study

The Philadelphia region is home to the fewest, least confident entrepreneurs of the country’s 15 largest metro areas, according to an annual report [PDF] on new business ventures from the Kauffman Foundation.
New business formation increased nationwide in 2008, mostly for the “lowest-income potential” startups, according to a press release from the Kansas City organization.
The survey does not include only tech-related ventures, but all new launches.
National entrepreneurial activity has remained steady in each year of the 12-year-old study, despite the status of the economy, as Wall Street Journal blog Venture Capital Dispatch reported.
