Minority entrepreneurs make up more than half of all Inland Empire business firm owners, a new report released Tuesday finds. The first-ever State of Entrepreneurship Minority Report released by the Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship at California State University, San Bernardino, found just over 50% of inland business firms are owned by minority entrepreneurs — with Hispanic owners representing the largest portion.
“Minority entrepreneurship is an incredibly positive indicator for the Inland Empire,” said Mike Stull, director of the Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship. “Overall, the rate of new entrepreneurs outpaces the national level, but lags when it comes to new ventures being created by individuals out of choice rather than necessity.
“These necessity ventures tend to be those in which innovation and scalability are lacking and often do not have larger economic impacts such as extensive job creation and large multiplier effects throughout the supply chain," Stull continued.
