Our co-founders, Barry and Traci Newkirk, started with no money but a great deal of grit, determination and drive.\u00a0 Friends offered to fund ICAP initially with a $100,000 credit line\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It began in the basement of their home, in a windowless room.

Many of our clients and consultants responded to our relationship-based approach to business and our focus on specialization. We eventually added additional business units: Consulting and Software.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ICAP started as a way for our founders to be involved parents and business owners. The business evolved as a way for our co-founders to give back to their community, build healthy working relationships, engage themselves and their team in meaningful work, and give back to their employees. All while working in a job, business, and career they loved. It truly is a dream fulfilled and it continues to expand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
