About ICIC
Since 1999, ICIC has identified and celebrated the 100 fastest-growing businesses in under-resourced communities in the U.S. through the IC100 award. The 2024 IC100 winners were evaluated based on revenue growth during the four years from 2019 to 2023.
Steve Grossman, CEO of ICIC, said, “The 2024 IC100 award winners are proof that investing in under-resourced communities generates exceptional results. The honorees are more than leaders; they are changemakers who uplift their neighborhoods while driving sustainable growth.”
2024 IC100 Winners by the Numbers
From 2019 to 2023, the Inner City 100 companies averaged 347% revenue growth and created 2,089 total jobs. Of these 100 winners, 60% are BIPOC-owned/led, and 54% are woman-owned/led, the latter of which is a record-high number in the program’s history. Here is the breakdown of this year’s ICIC Winners:
