Cover Story: Supporting the growth of minority-owned small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is an important goal in many countries. In this study, we examine several factors that influence the performance of Latino-owned small businesses in Silicon Valley. We use a survey of over 200 Latino entrepreneurs to test hypotheses about the connection between firm revenue and the characteristics of businesses as well as of business owners. The aim of the study is to help policymakers and educators develop programs to support the creation and success of Latino-owned small businesses. Our findings suggest that the financial success of these businesses is related to the formal registration of the business, the integration of the business into the broader community, and the commitment of the owner.
