The Organization
Inner City Advisors (ICA) is an Oakland-based nonprofit and nationally known accelerator of businesses that create living wage jobs. Together with Fund Good Jobs (the capital fund spawned from ICA), ICA/FGJ companies have generated more than $200 million, created millions in employee wealth, and employed more than 2,500 Bay Area residents. Through a mix of entrepreneurship education, pro bono management consulting through a network of successful committed business advisors, talent management to assist employers in finding and retaining employees and a capital fund that provides hard-to-secure resources for the emerging businesses, ICA has found the right recipe to grow the capital and employment base in Oakland and the East Bay. Today, ICA and Fund Good Jobs bring together financial, human and social capital, with business acumen and grit to help motivated entrepreneurs develop businesses in their communities that employ people from those communities.
