SmallBiz is a commerce-driven platform that provides attention to small businesses with the hope of fostering economic development in local communities.

 As a global team of high-schoolers participating in the Yale Young Global Scholars program, we were personally affected by the impacts of Covid on small businesses. As a result, we were inspired to provide aid in helping these essential places thrive and survive. Therefore, we decided to create a platform to provide attention to small businesses, with the hope of fostering economic development in local communities.
