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. Small businesses employ millions of Americans, but too many workers lack the pay, benefits, and stability that make a job a good one. We build the evidence to understand what works and make the business case so that improving job quality becomes a strong business strategy for more small businesses.
