“After six months of hard work, we sat in that same Starbucks and took stock of where we were and asked ourselves, ‘Do we still have a company?’ We decided yes, let’s keep going.” -Erin. In Part 4 of our ACS Origin Story Series, learn more about how a simple question turned into 8+ years of perseverance, commitment, and growth.
“That level of big thinking required serious fuel—so we met for milkshakes, burgers, and fries. There, on the back of a napkin, we sketched out our 5-year plan. It spoke to technologies and customers and vehicles. But more importantly it codified our commitment to operate differently—keeping values and culture at the center of all we were planning.” -Mandy. ACS Origins, Part 4 explains how the first ACS strategic plan was crafted at a Cheeburger Cheeburger.
“Erin is the balloon. If you’ve ever seen her mind at work when she’s ‘entrepreneur-ing,’ you know what I’m talking about. But every balloon needs a tether – the person to keep the ideas grounded and achievable. The ‘where the rubber meets the road person’. That’s me.” – Mandy. Part 2 of the ACS Origin Story talks about the matchmaking behind how this “balloon and tether” ultimately came together.
Do All Great Ideas Happen in a Starbucks? If you ask Erin and Mandy, the answer might be yes – Starbucks holds a magical place in ACS lore. Today, on International Women’s Day, we begin to share the story of two women who set out to make a difference – one coffee, one technology, and one mission at a time. Over the next week, we will take you on their scenic journey and share the ACS “origin story” with you.
