MAJOR

What MAJOR does

MAJOR (legal entity: WE ARE MAJOR, LLC) is a boutique community and economic development consulting firm headquartered in Miami, Florida, founded in 2017 by social entrepreneur Leyanis Diaz. Originally launched as 'Major Marketplace,' an online marketplace for small businesses, the company pivoted around 2020 into a hybrid for-profit consulting and nonprofit model that combines market-rate professional services with community mission delivery.

The firm delivers eight service lines organized around three core offerings — Program Design & Implementation, Research, Evaluation & Insights, and Strategy, Engagement & Advisory — supplemented by Workforce & Talent Development, Funding Readiness & Support, Advocacy & Thought Leadership, Community & Economic Research, and Small Business & Entrepreneurship Development. Engagements follow a documented five-stage methodology (Discovery, Assessment, Design, Build, Launch) and are sold exclusively through direct outreach that begins with a discovery call, with quote-based pricing structured as multi-year contracts. Clients span government agencies, philanthropic foundations, corporations, and nonprofits.

The business model is straightforward professional-services consulting: bespoke engagements scoped per project, priced per deliverable, with no software product, subscription revenue, or marketplace fees. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no public revenue figures, no headcount data, and no AI or proprietary technology assets. The company holds NMSDC Minority Business Enterprise and WBENC Women's Business Enterprise certifications, which provide preferential access to supplier diversity and minority contracting pipelines.
