An Inside Look at the Heart of California's Local Business Community
An Inside Look at the Heart of California's Local Business Community
Curated California is more than just a video series or a business directory. It’s a growing digital magazine, grassroots media platform, and statewide movement to spotlight the people, places, and small businesses that give California its soul.
From beachside cafés in San Diego to herbal farms in Fresno, from second-chance entrepreneurs in Long Beach to generational artisans in San Francisco, Curated California exists to tell real stories and remind us why local matters.
Why We Exist
Our state is vast, diverse, and full of creativity, but too often, incredible local businesses go unseen. Corporate ads dominate digital space, while family-run brands, healers, and makers struggle to reach their audience.
That’s where Curated California comes in.
We produce short-form video features, run a hyper-local newsletter and business directory, and spotlight businesses through SEO-boosted blog posts, email marketing, and digital campaigns.
Because when you support local, you do more than just shop, you circulate dollars within your community, create jobs, and build a stronger, more connected California.
Our Philosophy
- 68% of every dollar spent at a locally-owned business stays in the community
- Real humans matter more than algorithms
- Video is the most powerful way to build trust
- Small business is big business in California
- Supporting the local economy isn’t just a feel-good choice, it’s a strategic one
