About I.C.E.

InnerCity Entrepreneurs (I.C.E.) is the premier organization for established small businesses interested in growth. I.C.E. seeks to fill a gap in small business economic development by using practice and applied research to promote job creation, wealth generation, and community building.

We fulfill our mission by partnering with urban, community-based organizations to offer:

advanced management training,
peer-to-peer learning,
one-on-one coaching, and
networking opportunities.

Our methodology allows entrepreneurs to learn from case studies of their own businesses so that upon completion of the program, each entrepreneur has set specific milestones, developed a strategic plan to grow his or her business, and worked with peers, experts, and coaches to gain greater access to new sources of capital, markets, and knowledge. Each entrepreneur receives a Certificate in Small Business Entrepreneurship from Boston University's Entrepreneurial Management Institute.

I.C.E. is also committed to developing a body of research and case studies on inner-city economic development. Our goal is to inform the academic and economic development communities and influence the public policy debate on allocating resources to existing businesses versus startups.
