Roadmap to Strengthen the Deaf Business Community
The Deaf Ecosystem is strong, but visibility is fragile.
If we aren’t visible daily, we risk being invisible tomorrow.
The actively managed platform that grows the Deaf Ecosystem, not just catalogs it.
We don’t wait for visibility, we create it. Every day.
The Problem We’re Solving
Many Deaf-owned businesses struggle with consistent visibility, outdated directories, and platforms that don’t prioritize accessibility.
Listings are static, not actively managed.
Consumers can’t easily find Deaf-owned or Deaf-serving options.
Platforms rarely include ASL-first content or culturally appropriate communication.
Businesses lack marketing support and consistent audience reach.
Visibility should not be fragile, but right now, it is.
The Solution
DeafBuzz.biz is building an actively managed, accessible, always-on platform that:
Promotes Deaf-owned businesses through daily marketing, storytelling, and content creation
Maintains constantly updated listings
Builds ASL-accessible content and communication
Creates tailored campaigns for Deaf consumers
Plans future community features, including a Deaf-first social platform
Provides long-term tools for discovery, engagement, business growth, and community connection
We are building the future in phases, responsibly, intentionally, with a clear long-term vision.
The Roadmap
2025-2028
Each phase builds long-term sustainability and access.
Phase 1: Growth + Revenue (Now – 2026)
-
Directory expansion + business onboarding
-
Paid marketing and creative services
-
Sponsored campaigns and job listings
-
Multi-platform content strategy to build community traffic
Phase 2: Platform Launch (Late 2026 – 2027)

It’s time for a Deaf-first marketing and community platform, built by those who live it.
And we are just getting started.
Community trust + media expertise + bold innovation
= The right team at the right moment.
Why Now
Deaf consumers are looking for trusted, Deaf-led discovery tools, not just another directory.
Businesses need steady, reliable visibility instead of a one-time spike of attention.
Mainstream platforms still fall short on accessibility, leaving Deaf users and Deaf-owned businesses underserved.
No current platform is actively promoting, managing, or championing the Deaf Ecosystem in a consistent, intentional way.
Why Us
The Deaf community already knows our work, and trusts it. We are:
Deeply connected across Deaf business networks nationwide
Skilled in accessible media creation, content strategy, and visibility management
Already building momentum with real projects, real clients, and real community impact

We are inviting partners who believe in Deaf economic power.
