Resources

Below is an overview of the resources  that ICA provides to its portfolio clients as well as local businesses.

  • Capital Connections
    In order to serve clients’ capital needs as growing companies, ICA connects them with capital providers including venture funds, equity firms, angel investors and banks.
     
  • Referral Networks
    Through our advisors and client companies, ICA maintains a referral network of professional services. While the services may not be pro-bono, this referral network is a trusted source for business services in the case that our business advisors cannot meet our client company needs.
     
  • Research and Internships
    Many of our companies lack the resources to conduct valuable research that would help them make strategic business decisions. Through partnerships with the local universities and research institutions, ICA offers access to relevant research as well as interns from local business school programs such as Haas, Stanford, Cal State East Bay, and Mills College.
     
  • Collaborations
    ICA connects its client companies with other local organizations, institutions, and businesses that supplement ICA’s work and help support the client’s business growth.
     
  • Publicity
    ICA regularly promotes its clients through events, newsletters and other publications.
