GoDaddy knows that to truly advocate and empower entrepreneurs, you first have to really understand them. That’s why, since 2018, GoDaddy’s Venture Forward research initiative has studied and analyzed over 21 million businesses with a website and 10 or fewer employees. This session will feature U.S.-wide and Tucson-specific insights on where these business are, what their economic impact is on jobs and incomes, who the entrepreneurs are behind them and what support they need to prosper.
