BOSTINNO- Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC), a nonprofit based in Dudley Square, Roxbury, recently released a report highlighting a lack of diversity among incubators and accelerators, calling for action.

For the report, “Creating Inclusive High-Tech Incubators and Accelerators: Strategies to Increase Participation Rates of Women and Minority Entrepreneurs”, ICIC partnered with JP Morgan Chase. They interviewed more than 75 industry experts to understand diversity dynamics within incubators and accelerators throughout the country, in addition to coming up with solutions to increase inclusiveness of women and minorities among these programs.
