We had the good fortune of connecting with Booker T. Spencer Jr and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Booker T., is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
I’m committed in making an economic impact in the Startup community by providing technical support that empower the startup entrepreneur in the early stages of development.

Our mission is to create 1000 New Limited Liability Corporation Businesses in Texas by the first quarter of 2028.

Through our Non-profit Small Business Technical Assistance Program “Bootstrap Entrepreneurs Inc” we can be a force for good by empowering individuals of BIPOC communities across the State of Texas by providing entrepreneurial literacy education, funding resources, and technical support to create and grow successful businesses.

What should our readers know about your business?
When I think about what sets me apart from others is the determination to never stop growing. Just because you failed at the first attempt doesn’t mean that you are a failure, it could be that you didn’t fully understand the process or that you didn’t have the right mentor or coach. I’ve failed several times, but the difference is the determination to never stop growing.

The old saying is true… When You Know Better You Do Better

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Most of my friends are advit students of history, and the simple things in life. We enjoy going to boutique restaurants in the historic districts of any major metropolitan city. We enjoy listening to the stories of the small business owners who have weathered the highs and lows of the economy over the last 20, or 30 years.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’ve had several impactful mentors throughout my career, but I would be remiss if I did mention Charles Curvey Sr, the mentor who had a major impact on my life. Charles Curvey Sr. taught me the foundational principle of “Paying It Forward”.
