Support #BayArea businesses this holiday season. Our grantee, @ICAfund's Marketplace features 97 local businesses that sell great, gift-able products. Each of these businesses are run by founders who completed ICA's coaching and accelerator programs: bit.ly/3OTVG3s

At ICA we invest in Bay Area businesses to grow good jobs (7200 so far!) — so we've put a lot of thought into what makes a job good. Thrilled to see our field centering this question, and looking forward to advancing the work together. thehill.com/opinion/congre…

If business ownership amongst entrepreneurs of color were proportionate to the population, it would create millions of more jobs in their respective communities. #SmallBusiness #JobCreation buff.ly/3SDEakR
