Did you know that micro businesses account for 92% of all U.S. businesses, create 41M jobs, and collectively generate almost $5Tr in economic impact? We are proud of our partnership with Start:Me, an intensive accelerator program that equips local entrepreneurs with the knowledge, networks, and capital needed to grow. For several years, micro-businesses in South Atlanta have developed and expanded thanks to the support and guidance of Start:Me.
This year was no different. Entrepreneurs representing 17 local businesses walked through this three-month program, and on May 12, we celebrated their graduation!
