Our mission is to better connect people in their local communities by spotlighting the hidden talent that lies within it.
We specialize in hyperlocal - with a special focus on small businesses (service providers, venues, and products) AND events.
We encourage shoppers to patronize local small businesses, by helping to identify them based on their chosen specifications to fulfill their needs. Conversely, we also help local small businesses, connect with customers!
Our site helps users find small business:
- that is newly formed (within the past year)
- formed within the past 5 years
- that is well-established
- Minority-owned
- Woman-owned
- Veteran-owned
- Home-based
- Hyper-local(one that is super close by)
- Language-based(For example, my mother-in-law is looking for a hairstylist who speaks Korean)
- Value-based (ie one that supports my values)
We BELIEVE local small businesses:
- provide jobs
- support the entrepreneurial spirit
- inspire innovation
- generate competition, resulting in a healthier marketplace
- contribute to a sense of community
- have an economic benefit to local communities
- AND, are the backbone of the US Economy
