For the first time in history, Caribbean-American businesses will be counted.
This is your moment to be part of it.
Across 30+ islands and 50 states, Caribbean-led businesses are building, hiring, and generating wealth — yet no national dataset exists to prove it. The Wi Union Project changes that. When we pool our data, we stop being an afterthought and start being an economic force that corporations, investors, and policymakers cannot ignore.

Why This Survey Exists
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.
The data we collect will be used to:
Secure corporate partnerships and diversity contracts for Caribbean-led businesses
Advocate for policy changes and funding access at the state and federal level
Attract investors and accelerators to our community
Tell the true story of Caribbean-American economic impact in media and research
Give CBN the proof it needs to negotiate on your behalf, with receipts.
Join us as we amplify the voices of Caribbean movers and shakers, inspire one another, and foster a culture of support and empowerment.
NOTE: Your data remains private. Aggregate findings are published to benefit the entire community.

This is the most important 8 minutes you'll spend for your community this year.
