Small businesses are the backbone of our economy.
We help them thrive.
WHO WE ARE
We are a multi-stakeholder, cross-sector initiative that brings small business leaders, investors, experts, and policymakers together with business owners and the people they employ. We engage diverse stakeholders and develop data-driven insights to shape and inform market opportunities and policy. Together, we are working to ensure businesses prosper, and that the benefits ripple across communities and throughout the economy.
Surveys & Insights
Data-driven insights drive change. We conduct in-depth surveys of business owners and the people they employ to bring their voices into the conversation and glean actionable insights that advance innovative solutions to advance equity and opportunity across the economy.
Good Jobs & Small Employers
Good Jobs are good business.
The majority of employees in the US work for small firms. These workers are disproportionately low-income and are less likely to be in Good Jobs compared to workers employed by larger firms. We work to unlock opportunities at scale that benefit small businesses and the people they employ.
Trust & Access to Capital
Access to capital is crucial for businesses to start, grow and contribute to the economy. We partner with trusted organizations to improve the availability of actionable data and center the voices of diverse business owners to expand access to capital for entrepreneurs of color.
