Behind every small business is a real person. A person who believes in their mission for good. Who wants to bring something special into the world. And who works tirelessly to make their vision and dreams come true.
We believe that together we can do more.
And we're very grateful to be associated with so many amazing entrepreneurs and particularly women- and minority-led small businesses who share our vision. Below you'll find a collection of our supporters whose businesses, products and services we adore.

An idea born out of the pandemic in Switzerland. As the main online supermarkets were saturated these passionate foodies started searching online for other food shops.
When the search got them nowhere they decided to build a simple search tool to find the local shops selling food online.
It now features over 250 food online shops around the country and new food spots are being added every day that connect local food actors and consumers.
FOODSPOTTERS believes that there are new ways to connect with small businesses, local producers and next-door shops so that we all change our habits of consumers and go towards a better, sustainable way of living.
Founded by superwoman Annabelle Deisler, Corner Office first set out to bring out a tailored dress shirt specifically designed for each woman to feel her best in.
