Who Are We?

We are people who love small and diverse-owned businesses. They have been significantly impacted by the shifting economy and social movements in recent years, so we created Sertify to help them open doors to more customers and growth.

We are a community with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We’ve led small business and diversity teams at Fortune 500 companies, created products that empower youth, and formed a bunch of technology startups.

We are, simply, people who care. At the heart of it all, we have experienced the highs and lows of diverse-owned small businesses. Now, more than ever, supporting diverse-owned businesses matters.
