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. Most entrepreneurs of color lack the confidence to fund an unexpected $5,000 business expense. A tiny share of equity capital investments flow to Black or Latino/a founders. 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.

Good Jobs Webinar Series

In partnership with the Department of Commerce, Reimagine Main Street, a project of Public Private Strategies Institute, has developed a webinar series to ensure that small and medium sized employers are aware of the opportunities and strategies that exist to provide “Good Jobs” for their workforce. This series will include conversations with, and resources from, government partners, non-profit organizations, and national capital and technical assistance providers to increase awareness of “Good Jobs'' strategies and tools to better inform your business.
