When the System Fails, We Don’t: What’s Next for The Amalgamation

If you’ve been paying attention, you already know: DBE and SBA programs—the lifelines for many small and diverse businesses—are under threat. Political shifts and legal challenges are putting their future at risk.

But here’s the truth: we’re not sitting around hoping someone saves us.

We’re showing up for each other. We’re adapting. And we’re building the kind of stability that doesn’t depend on the next election or court ruling.

Here’s what’s happening, what we’re building, and why now is the time to join us.

The Landscape Has Changed

If you haven’t been following closely, small and diverse business programs like SBA and DBE are increasingly at risk. Recent political debates and legal challenges threaten to defund or dismantle these essential resources, creating an environment of instability and uncertainty.

Let’s be honest: if we’re relying solely on these programs to get business… we’re screwed.

We can’t afford to wait indefinitely. The future of these programs is fragile at best. It’s time to take action—to protect and strengthen our businesses, regardless of political outcomes.

What’s Next for The Amalgamation

We’re staying dedicated to supporting vulnerable businesses navigating government contracting. Independent contractors, micro businesses, and businesses owned by women, minorities, and veterans remain at the heart of our mission.

We’re not just holding the line—we’re leveling up. More tools. More strategy. More support. We’re building an infrastructure that helps small businesses thrive even when the system doesn’t.

New Tools for Uncertain Times

🎓 Amalgamation Academy – Now Free for Everyone

We’ve made the Amalgamation Academy free because we want you to be certain government contracting is right for your business before you invest further. The Academy offers essential insights and practical info to help you make that decision with confidence.

If it is a good fit? Membership gives you everything you need to move forward with clarity and support.

🔍 New Resources

We’re also rolling out:

  • Bidscope – A tool to help you find real, relevant contract opportunities

  • A small business directory – Making it easier for agencies to find qualified firms and for members to connect

  • A training catalog – Showcasing professional development offerings from small businesses to government agencies

This isn’t just access. It’s visibility, collaboration, and credibility—all in one place.

Membership, Simplified

Membership is straightforward: $100/month gives you full access to everything we offer.

We kept it simple because we know small business needs shift constantly. This model gives you practical support exactly when you need it—without fluff or red tape.

Use what you need. When you need it.

Why Independence Matters More Than Ever

Even if DBE programs survive this round, we can’t ignore what’s happening. These programs are politically vulnerable—and the next threat is never far off.

This is about more than reacting. It’s about building something of our own.

True independence means stability that doesn’t hinge on election cycles or court rulings. It means we decide what support looks like. And it means we keep showing up for each other—no matter what’s happening on the outside.

Here’s What We Promise

We can’t promise contracts. Anyone who says they can is lying.

But we can promise:

  • Reliable tools

  • Clear, honest guidance

  • A community built for solidarity—not performative inclusion

  • And a commitment to supporting small businesses, always

No debates about whether diversity matters. No question about your value. Just certainty, consistency, and real support.

This is our path forward. We’d love for you to join us.
