Our Impact in Boston
ICCC is a trusted resource for growth, job creation, and access to capital.
“When I first participated in ICCC, I didn’t even know what ‘access to capital’ really meant. Now, it’s a critical part of my business strategy. ICCC gave me the inspiration and connections to get funding, which has been instrumental in helping me grow my company.”
