STANFORD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Feb 3, 2022–
The Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative (SLEI) at Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB), in collaboration with the Latino Business Action Network (LBAN), released a report covering the latest trends in Latino entrepreneurship in the U.S.
For the past seven years, SLEI has collected survey data from Latino-owned businesses across the country. The latest report is the largest survey to date, with 15,000 business owners surveyed, including 7,500 Latino-owned employer businesses and 7,500 Non-Latino, White-owned employer businesses.
“Latino entrepreneurs have shown their resilience over the past year, with many growing their companies organically and opening businesses in a variety of industries,” said Marlene Orozco, PhD, Associate Director, SLEI. “Our goal in collecting this survey data is to demystify any preconceived notions we have about Latino-owned businesses, illustrating that these are viable, prominent workplaces that are growing our nation’s workforce exponentially.”
The report highlights key areas of Latino entrepreneurship, including firmographics, financial data and employee statistics from Latino businesses and the overall ongoing effect of COVID-19 on the Latino entrepreneur community.
Key themes and findings include:
The report’s results and trends were presented virtually at the SOLE Forum on Friday, Jan. 28. Speakers included SLEI’s Associate Director Marlene Orozco, Stanford GSB’s Dean Jonathan Levin, U.S. Administrator of the Small Business Administration Isabella Casillas Guzman, as well as several entrepreneurs from the latest survey as they discuss the report’s findings and their implications for the future of Latino entrepreneurship.
