Since 2005, our program has evolved to meet the changing needs of small business owners across the nation. We know that small businesses, especially those in under-resourced communities, have been hit the hardest by the COVID-19 crisis, and now, more than ever, are in need of capacity-building education, one-on-one coaching, and access to capital, fundamental components of the ICCC program.
The 2022 ICCC program will prioritize business recovery strategies, as well as focus on the tools needed for businesses to incorporate their strategic pivots into their long-term business plan and strategy. Participants will gain the following key takeaways:
From 2005-2022, more than 6,000 ICCC alumni have averaged 141% growth in revenue, raised $2.4 billion in capital, and created more than 26,000 jobs in their communities. Read more about ICCC’s regional and national impact in the recently published 2022 Impact Report and overview.
