Why now
Gen Z is crossing over into the dominant generation of new founders — and almost none of the platforms built for entrepreneurs were built for them.
43%
of Gen Z plan to launch a business in 2026
The highest of any generation — ahead of Millennials at 39%.
9%
of new U.S. businesses in 2025 were started by Gen Z
vs. 5% by Boomers — the first-ever generational crossover.
5.7M
business applications filed in 2025
The highest total in the past decade.
~2%
of small business owners are Gen Z today
The cohort is at the very start of a decade-long growth curve.
