The County of San Diego Black Chamber of Commerce (CSDBCC) created a Business Accelerator Program under its Urban Business Resource Center (UBRC). The first cohort, comprised of 14 minority-owned businesses, graduated in May, and on June 10 at UC San Diego Park & Market, the graduates were awarded a grant of almost $12k per participant in cash and Sony Electronics equipment. With sponsorship from The San Diego Foundation, Sony Electronics Inc, and Bank of America, the CSDBCC is proud to offer this opportunity to elevate these local small businesses.
