Mission

LocalGreen’s mission is to empower minority-owned local businesses and diversify the business landscape by using technology to amplify local businesses and encourage consumers to choose them.

The Problem

The COVID-19 epidemic has taken a toll on the economy, especially small/local businesses. While the government has offered support to local businesses during this difficult time, the public itself needs to do its part to support local businesses too. Furthermore, there is no easy way for consumers to find minority-owned local businesses.

Our Solution

LocalGreen is a solution to both these issues. We provide a central database where users can explore female, black, and LGBTQ+ owned local businesses in their city.

Why Support Local Businesses?

  1. Economy: The majority of money spent at a local business will stay in your community
  2. Support: Local businesses are more likely to support other local businesses
  3. Community: Local business care more about the well-being of your community and its residents than most large businesses
  4. Environment: Local businesses often have a smaller carbon footprint and use more environmentally-friendly tactics than large businesses
