In recognition of ACE | Access to Capital for Entr

In recognition of ACE | Access to Capital for Entrepreneurs' 25th anniversary, we're pleased to share photos of special moments in ACE's history with a Friday Flashback on the first Friday of the month in 2025 beginning in February.

This month we're sharing a photo of ACE Founder, Grace Fricks with former Mayor Kasim Reed at the Commerce Club New Funding Luncheon 10 years ago January 27, 2015.

Events like this led to exposure and relationships with civic leaders, future funders and other stakeholders that contributed in some way to ACE's work funding small businesses in north Georgia.
