Welcome

Welcome to I.C.E., an award-winning organization dedicated to filling the gap in small business development. Our focus is on existing urban businesses capable of growth. During our nine-month ‘StreetWise M.B.A.’™ program, entrepreneurs set specific milestones, develop a three-year strategic growth plan, and network with peers, experts, coaches, and capital providers.

The result is an effective model that turns plans into action, boosts business, and addresses many of the core problems facing urban communities today by creating jobs, generating wealth, and developing community leaders.
