Behind Every Business

From baristas to craft connoisseurs, Lenovo Evolve Small has been supporting small businesses across North America since 2021.

Meet Our Lenovo Ambassadors

Every Evolve Small winner is paired with a Lenovo Ambassador. These individuals partner with small business owners, becoming their main contact for any questions or queries along the way. We know that tech is nothing without the people behind it.

Our Tech Partners

Microsoft and Intel share our Evolve Small vision of empowering every workstyle. Windows 11 Pro delivers performance and security, and Intel’s AI Experiences power built-in AI assistants—like Microsoft Copilot—which saves you time by performing tedious tasks.

Small Business Grant with Goodie Nation

Since 2021 Lenovo Evolve Small has provided financial grants to more than 100 small business owners across North America. Not for profit partner Goodie Nation is the trusted community for post-accelerator founders and social entrepreneurs. Lenovo Evolve Small is excited to partner with them once again.
