Founder bios
Will Moss
Co-founder
Co-founder of SupplierDiversity.com. Builds the platform, data infrastructure, and the products that move suppliers from research to revenue.
Long bio (for feature writeups): Will Moss co-founded SupplierDiversity.com with Mario Bailey on the premise that the supplier diversity ecosystem deserves the same product polish as a personal-finance or e-commerce site.

Will leads platform, data infrastructure, and product. That includes the federal spending pipeline (sourced from USASpending.gov), the certifying body and corporate program directories, the eligibility and matching tools, the buyer-supplier marketplace, and CertifyAll, the unified certification submission service. He focuses on making the site the kind of resource diverse business owners actually use, not just bookmark.

Federal contract data comes directly from USASpending.gov; certification guides are written from primary sources at NMSDC, WBENC, NGLCC, Disability:IN, NaVOBA, and the SBA; and outcome data is contributed by real diverse business owners through our public survey. Mario writes and …
