The American Investment Council partnered with the New York State Society to honor the Congressional interns of the New York delegation for their public service on Capitol Hill.
We celebrated with scoops from Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, a New York small business that grew from a Brooklyn food truck into a national brand with the support of private equity investment from AIC member Beliade Consumer Partners.
Stories like this are unfolding across the country. In New York alone, private equity supports more than 800,000 jobs at nearly 2,000 companies, most of them small businesses. From local favorites to national brands, private investment helps small businesses scale, create jobs, and bring their products to communities nationwide.
