Excerpt of Zuckerberg's note:

Today we're starting Meta Small Business as a new top-level company initiative.

Small businesses have always been the majority of our business model. Tens of millions of entrepreneurs use our platforms every day to connect with customers and grow. We've already built the leading tools in this space, and now we're going to do more.

In the AI era, it should be easier than ever for people to build new businesses. We want to build the services that enable this. This is important for ensuring that people broadly share in the prosperity created by superintelligence.
