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.
Innovation
The next wave of innovation is already reshaping Main Street.
We explore how AI and digital finance are changing how small businesses compete and grow, and what it takes to turn new technology into business advantage.
Trust & Access to Capital
Small businesses have more ways to access capital than ever, but trust shapes which options they will actually use. We examine what earns that trust, what breaks it, and how those choices shape access to financing and growth.
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.
