ATLANTA | September 8, 2025–Rick Bennett and Ken Thrasher were accountants working at Price Waterhouse in Atlanta, when each found themselves wanting something different from what they had in corporate life. “We wanted to raise our families in Atlanta,” Bennett said. Price Waterhouse was “transferring people from where they lived to other places, to try to, I guess, populate other places with new ideas. But we didn’t want to do that.” So in September 1980, they started their own firm, Bennett Thrasher. Now one of the largest accounting firms based in Atlanta with nearly 500 employees and $125 million in annual revenue, it celebrates its 45th anniversary this month.

Venture capital is defined as investing in areas where no one has previously dared to invest. In the guideline prepared by the Capital Markets Board ('CMB'), which has the authority to regulate and supervise the capital markets, venture capital is expressed as a form of financing that enables dynamic and creative entrepreneurs—who lack sufficient financial resources—to realise their investment ideas.
