San José Made's Five-Minute Small Business Survey for 2022 & Beyond - General Survey

Why are we doing this? As San José, CA continues to see significant growth and change, we find ourselves from time to time asked: What can we do to improve and positively impact the conditions for small businesses here in our community? Are there things we do that we should be doing more frequently or at greater scales? Are there things we aren’t doing that we should be doing?

We want to do right by you and the small business community here. It sounds cliche but it's no less true: We want to make sure your voices are heard and your voices directly influence the way the ecosystem for small businesses here can be grown, strengthened and sustained.

At the end of the month, our goal is to take your feedback back to our team and from there, create a set of actionable recommendations that we can use to better advise potential parties with vested interest in helping small businesses here in San José, the South Bay and the greater Bay Area. Not to mention, we hope to use our learnings to better position our own initiatives in helping small businesses here in San José, the South Bay and the greater Bay Area.

If you have any questions or if you need our help walking you through the survey, we'd be happy to help. Please email info@sanjosemade.com with any questions you may have during the process.
