Innovation for Small Businesses in the U.S.?

Hi all,  

I have recently relocated from Venezuela to the United States.  I am searching for a market niche to work as an innovation management consultant in the Virginia area.  

My first impression as a newcomer to the US local market is that the Innovation general discourse, as well as the offer of products and services,  are aimed towards big enterprises rather than small businesses.  But at the same time, small businesses play a recognized key role in the U.S. economy. 

What am I missing?

Could you point me towards small business innovation products and services in the US?

If, on the contrary, my observation is accurate, could anyone with experience in this market tell me what you think about offering innovation products and services for small businesses? 

Thanks, 

Juan Pablo Molina Berrizbeitia
