At Local Genius, we believe in the power of local. Our journey began with a simple idea: create a place where locals and travelers can easily find small businesses and events. Today, we're proud to be a trusted resource for communities across the United States.
Hi! I'm Tiffany, your biggest supporter. With over 23 years of experience as a small business owner, I've faced the challenges of competition from larger chains and the struggle for visibility. Local Genius was born from my passion for small businesses and desire to create a community of support. Today, I’m living my dream by helping small businesses across the United States connect with locals and travelers, creating a ripple effect of engagement and growth.
Hello! I'm Trisha, your biggest advocate. Four years ago, I left a corporate job seeking a more fulfilling and adventurous life. While traveling with my family, I realized the difficulty in finding small, local businesses amidst the dominance of large chains. This frustration led me to co-found Local Genius, a platform dedicated to making it easy for everyone to discover and support local businesses. Now, I’m committed to bringing the best of local to you every day, helping you uncover the unique charm of each community.
Hey! I'm Quade, your ultimate ally. Fueled by a passion for people, business, and endless adventure, my mission is simple: to partner with you through creativity, connection, travel, and memorable events. I'm here to share discoveries, meet up, listen to your concerns, celebrate your wins, and inspire you through the incredible work of small business owners. Together, let's unite in our mission to champion small, local first and ultimately, have fun.
