For Small Businesses

Supporting the Businesses That Power America

Small businesses drive our economy, strengthen communities, and power supply chains, but barriers to capital, resources, and opportunity continue to limit their growth.

Next Street works with corporations, governments, philanthropies, and ecosystem partners to connect small businesses to the support they need to grow, build wealth, and create measurable economic impact.
