6 Brooklyn firms selected for training program, access to capital
Six Brooklyn companies were selected for a program offering urban businesses and entrepreneurs access to growth capital to grow their businesses.
A joint effort of the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC), Bank of America, Fortune and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), the six Brooklyn firms were selected to participate in the Inner City Capital Connections (ICCC) program.
This year the program received a record-setting 5,200 nominations from across the country and selected 178 companies for participation. Especially critical in today’s economic climate, the ICCC identifies inner city businesses in need of growth capital, educates them on the sources of capital, and matches them with capital providers in order to grow their businesses and create jobs.
