  • Monday, September 29, 2014

AQQOLADE, a local professional services business, has applied for a $150,000 grant from Chase Bank as part of a newly launched program, Mission Main Street Grants. AQQOLADE has submitted a questionnaire outlining a business plan that will result in growth of the business and NEEDS AT LEAST 250 votes to be eligible for a grant.


Clients, fans and community members can show support for AQQOLADE by voting at http://aqqolade.com/VOTE.

The voting deadline is Oct. 17 and grant recipients will be selected by expert panelists.


AQQOLADE is building out an in-house studio to create high-definition content for the benefit of today’s and tomorrow’s leaders. “Much of our content is shared free to the business community at large”, says Robert Dragone, President of AQQOLADE. “Funding from the grant would allow us to continue our high level of civic activity in Chattanooga’s entrepreneurial community.”


AQQOLADE produces a bi-weekly podcast available through iTunes and Stitcher. The company is also set to launch a new video series entitled “Leadership Moments” featuring business and civic leaders from the Chattanooga community.


Through Mission Main Street Grants, Chase will award $3 million to small business across America.
