2023 finalist Taylor'd Trends expanded to new warehouse space to support its thriving e-commerce business. 

HOW THIS WORKS

Do you have a dream to grow your business? You could be the next success story in the RISE Challenge!

Sherman's RISE Challenge opens annually to companies that have been in business between one and five years and whose core business activity is in an eligible category as defined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). 

 

In 2023, three young companies were selected to receive grants from the RISE Challenge. Jade United, Taylor'd Trends, and Big Girl Spa Essentials will receive continued support from sponsoring partners Sherman Economic Development Corp. (SEDCO), Austin College, and Grayson Small Business Development Center, each providing a unique resource to these growing companies.
