We partner with powerhouses. Our work is supported by leading organizations, such as the Kauffman, Surdna, and Prudential Foundations, that have developed the blueprint for small business economic development.

We have developed a partnership program where the benefits are mutual: becoming a Foundation Partner allows participants to support research that will not only make an impact in the world, but may also help them deliver on key objectives in their own business strategies. Together, we build a network for impact.
