ACE | Access to Capital for Entrepreneurs is proud to collaborate with Starbucks and the WNBA Atlanta Dream for The Dream Collective! This groundbreaking initiative celebrates and supports five outstanding ACE clients, each chosen to participate in a program designed to assist small businesses to overcome marketing obstacles and connect with Atlanta Dream fans.
Throughout the 2024 Atlanta Dream WNBA season, these entrepreneurs showcased their businesses during Atlanta Dream home games, reaching hundreds of fans and gaining invaluable exposure. As a crowning achievement, each business received a $10,000 grant in November 2024, providing a significant boost to their entrepreneurial journey.
