The LISC Digital Growth Accelerator for small businesses empowers entrepreneurs to grow their business by increasing capacity using digital tools and strategies. The initial cohorts of this program have been popular – particularly because each entrepreneur works with a dedicated consulting team for 7 weeks to develop a tailored growth strategy, including digital implementation strategies and capacity building support needed to implement.
In 2023, LISC was awarded a congressional “earmark” through the U.S. SBA to deploy the accelerator across the Commonwealth, with a specific focus in Seven Massachusetts cities, and an emphasis on ecosystem building. These locations include Fall River, Lawrence, Lynn, Somerville, New Bedford, Worcester, and Brockton. LISC received letters of support for the federal proposal from Mayors and City Managers from nearly all locations. We want to ensure the most vulnerable entrepreneurs in these local districts, those who lack access to capital have the resources and support to thrive – because we know that when small businesses do well, communities thrive, thus impacting families, and creating a robust economy.
