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Many Deaf-owned businesses struggle with consistent visibility, outdated directories, and platforms that don’t prioritize accessibility.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)
  • Deaf-first business + creator social platform

  • App features: profiles, promotions, discovery tools

  • Integrated events, jobs, reviews & community messaging

Phase 3: Scale + Ecosystem Acceleration (2027–2028)
  • Monetization tools for businesses and creators

  • Strategic brand partnerships

  • National + global expansion of DeafBuzz network

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

What We’re Looking For

We are inviting partners who believe in Deaf economic power.

To bring this platform to its fullest potential, we are seeking partnership support in one or more of these areas:
  1. Technical Development Support

    • Assistance building the platform’s next-level features, especially:

    • Directory infrastructure

    • Client/business dashboard

    • ASL media components

    • Mobile-friendly design

    • Future social features (Name TBD)

  2. Financial Sponsorship or Monthly Support

    • To sustain growth and consistent content production.

  3. Resource Contribution

    • This may include platform access, API tools, hosting, technical consulting, or integration opportunities.

  4. Collaborative Inclusion Initiatives

    • Partnerships that help expand access and elevate Deaf consumers and businesses.

    • I manage the marketing, outreach, content, verification, community engagement, and daily operations, and I seek a partner who can support the technical or financial side.
