Texas State Seeking Hispanic Business
Owners for Research Interviews
Texas State University and TAMACC are working together to conduct interviews with select Hispanic business owners for a new program called SCALEUP.

SCALEUP is focused on researching the unique challenges affecting minority-business growth and developing practical tools to help overcome these challenges.

To get a better sense of what the needs of Hispanic-owned businesses are, the McCoy College of Business is seeking business owners to interview.

The criteria for interview are:
  • Hispanic-owned
  • Located in Texas
  • 500 or fewer employees
  • Must have been in business for more than two years

If you or someone you know fits this criterion and is willing to participate in this important study, please email the below information to president@tamacc.org.
  • Name of Business
  • Owners Name
  • City Business Located
  • Email Address
  • Telephone Number
  • How long have you been in business
  • Type of business
  • Brief description of the business

We need 25-30 interviews to complete this phase of program development. Thank you for your participation in this important research. Please email your information in the next day or two.
