THE WI UNION PROJECT: SMALL BUSINESS SURVEY 2026
We are not a niche market. We are one unified force. Corporations and investors see the Caribbean diaspora as dozens of small, disconnected markets, Jamaican here, Haitian there, Trinidadian somewhere else. That fragmentation costs us contracts, funding, and political power. The Wi Union Project Small Business Survey (SBS) is the first effort to count us together. One dataset. One voice. One undeniable number that walks into every boardroom in America and says: this is what we're worth. The SBS will also collect data on innovation, technology, intellectual property, and financing from the U.S.-based companies of all sizes.

About: Building That Outlives Us.
Join us for Legacy 100 - an intimate leadership brunch for founders, executives, investors, creatives, and changemakers who don't just show up to rooms, they define them. Produced by Carib Biz Network and Eminae Network celebrating U.S. Black Business Month, Legacy 100 was created for us: building businesses, leading organizations, and shaping legacies that outlast a single generation.
Dress Code:
Elegant neutrals (cream, beige, champagne, ivory, blush, gold, light summer hues.)
What To Expect:
Expect a beautifully curated brunch menu, interactive networking, VIP guests, and more. A special VIP guest panel brings some of the sharpest minds in the room to the table, sharing what it actually takes to build something that lasts.
Seats are intentionally limited. This isn't a room you walk into - it's a room you're invited into.
Come for the experience. Leave with the relationships, ideas, and opportunities that outlive the day itself.
