Notes from the dataset behind every new business filing in America.

By Mathew Barnard·

We track every new business filing in the United States. Every LLC, every corporation, every day. Florida alone is around 200,000 enriched records and growing. This blog is where we publish what the data shows.

What you'll find here

Research. Quarterly looks at who is starting businesses in America, where, and in what industries. Built on our own dataset, refreshed every cycle.

Spotlights. Short, focused stories on a single trend or cohort: fastest-growing categories, hottest cities, weirdest LLC names of the month.

Process. Notes on how we built the pipeline, what we learned along the way, and where we're going next.

Why this exists

Most lead-gen companies hide their data behind a sales call. We're going the other way. The more we publish, the more journalists, researchers, and small business advocates can use what we have. That's good for the people we serve and good for us.
