Inner City Capital Connections

ICCC is excited to be returning to Hartford for a second time in 2020 thanks to our lead sponsor, the Hartford Foundation for a Public Giving. We had a successful inaugural cohort of 65 businesses averaging $1.11M in revenue, 4 full-time employees at the time of participation, and an average age of 11 years.

In light of the current situation, we have decided to offer the Inner City Capital Connections (ICCC) Hartford Opening Seminar as a virtual two-day seminar series that will take place the afternoons of September 8th and September 10th

For questions regarding the 2020 Hartford cohort, reach out directly to Marynee Pontes, Lead Program Coordinator, at (617) 238-3035 or mpontes@icic.org.

“Local businesses drive our region’s economy, and [the ICCC] program will provide businesses the additional knowledge and resources needed to increase business revenue…grow our local economy and create additional jobs.”

Judy McBride, Director of Grants and Partnerships Investments, Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, 2019 ICCC Hartford Sponsor
