John Arensmeyer is the founder and CEO of Small Business Majority, a national small business advocacy organization founded and run by small business owners to solve the biggest problems facing small businesses today and ensure small businesses’ success as a way to rebuild the economy.
Believing that the leading small business organizations were stifling diverse voices in favor of ideological rigidity, Arensmeyer founded Small Business Majority in 2005 to help entrepreneurs and policymakers work together on key policy issues that impact small businesses. The organization, which uses scientific economic and opinion research to understand small businesses’ attitudes and needs, focuses on many issues impacting small businesses, including access to capital, healthcare, tax reform, immigration, workforce issues, clean energy, and more.
