About small.

small., powered by Silver Lining, is on a mission to create content that is truly small business first. No corporate giants or tech elites, no pay to play, no gatekeeping. We believe small is big and they deserve better. Small businesses aren’t side notes to the global economy. They create jobs, fuel innovation, and support communities. But too often, their voices are drowned out by corporate giants, tech elites, and pay-to-play systems that favor scale over substance.

This is why small. has been created: To put small business owners first. To create honest, human-centered content that celebrates the courage, creativity, and commitment it takes to build something meaningful.

small.news

Our flagship platform, small.news, will bring this mission to life across multiple sections:

– small.stories: Deep, human-centered profiles that showcase the real story of small business owners’ commitment and resilience to build a business that grows their time, money, and impact. If you know a small business owner whose story deserves to be told, nominate them here!
– small.desk: The newsroom of small.news, providing concise, fact-checked updates on the biggest developments impacting small businesses—locally and globally.
– small.advice: Practical and actionable videos and articles based in the Silver Lining silv=r™ methodology that help small business owners set and hit their growth goals.
– small.world: Features told through the lens of Silver Lining’s global partners that explore the small business landscape, sharing powerful stories, policies, and innovations from across countries and cultures. Do you know someone who should be writing a small.world feature? Nominate them today!
– small.talk: Talk show with small business owners, experts, and advocates, exploring the global economic, political, and technology trends impacting small businesses.
– small.opinions: Op-eds written by small business owners, sharing personal perspectives about the realities, challenges, and opportunities for small businesses globally. Whether you’re a small business owner or you know someone whose voice should be heard, we want to hear from you!
– small.laughs: A weekly, original comic series that brings humor, heart, and honesty to the small business journey. Created by Dave Zaboski or other artists chosen by the small. team and Dave Zaboski.

Future small. expansions

small. also has plans to expand with the following:

– buy.small: An online shop, in partnership with Member Marketplace, where we profile incredible small business owners for people to buy from.
