GoDaddy Venture Forward 2024 Annual Report | U.S. Edition: A Message From GoDaddy Chief Strategy & Legal Officer Jared Sine
As originally published by GoDaddy’s Venture Forward research initiative
We love to celebrate entrepreneurship, and this report highlights GoDaddy's deep connection with small and microbusiness owners. We're there from the start of their journey, supporting millions of entrepreneurs from the moment they launch their business idea.
This year, GoDaddy's microbusiness research initiative, Venture Forward, expanded to four countries, to provide exclusive data on the presence, contributions and mindset of entrepreneurs across the U.S., U.K., Australia and Canada. Our goal is to widely share our insights so others can join GoDaddy in supporting and advocating for entrepreneurs.
In this 2024 edition of our annual Venture Forward report, you'll find insights on where and how these business owners are starting and growing their ventures, as well as who they are - from motivations and goals to challenges and demographics.
One thing is clear: these entrepreneurs are resourceful. Running small businesses with typically fewer than 10 employees means they must embrace new opportunities and tools, such as Generative Al to grow and compete.
They are also resilient. They bet on themselves in all economic conditions,
contributing to their local economies, creating jobs and supporting households with their ambition and drive.
We share their optimism, especially as our data reveals their outsized impact on communities and job creation. By uncovering and publicizing data about entrepreneurs, it is our hope other stakeholders will leverage this research to help - as GoDaddy's mission states - make opportunity more inclusive for
all.
