Meta is launching Meta Small Business, a new company-wide initiative focused on supporting entrepreneurship and promoting AI adoption. Axios reported On Wednesday.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a memo to employees that small businesses have always been a big part of the company’s business model, and millions of entrepreneurs already use its platform to grow and connect with customers. The company is now planning to do more work in this area.
“In the AI age, it should be easier than ever for people to create new businesses,” Zuckerberg wrote. “We want to build the services that enable this. This is important to ensure that people share widely in the prosperity created by superintelligence.”
Axios reports that Meta Small Business will be led by Meta President and Vice President Dina Powell McCormick and head of product Naomi Gleit.
Zuckerberg has asked product managers, designers, engineers and other employees to reach out if they’re interested in working on the new initiative.
