📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: ICA Fund is excited to introduce the 2025 Accelerator cohort of small businesses who are creating more vibrant, resilient communities with local jobs and shared wealth — all built in in the Bay Area. This year, we are welcoming 24 new businesses that reflect the diversity of industries in the Bay Area. From green tech and education, to apparel and CPG, these entrepreneurs show a vast array of innovative solutions to build wealth and connection in their communities. Through the Accelerator, these businesses will learn tested growth strategies, connect with ICA’s expert advising network, and – when the time is right – have access to our flexible, founder-friendly equity capital.
