Austin Small and Minority Business Resources (Austin SMBR) is excited to wrap up its first-ever Small Business Success Spotlight campaign! This year, Austin SMBR invited certified minority and women-owned firms to participate in a social media campaign celebrating the stories behind Austin's thriving small business community. 

Beginning in February, our team interviewed participating businesses to learn about their journeys, accomplishments, and what makes each one unique. We paired inspiring quotes, fun facts, and business highlights with founder headshots and company logos to showcase these incredible entrepreneurs across our social media channels.

From construction firms and engineering companies to bakeries, consultants, and even local beekeepers, each success story demonstrated the innovation, resilience, and dedication that help make Austin's small business community so vibrant. We were honored to share their stories and celebrate the impact they continue to make throughout our city.

SMBR extends a sincere thank you to every business owner who participated in the campaign and trusted us to share their success stories. We look forward to creating more opportunities to spotlight Austin's outstanding small businesses in the future.
