Investment in America Small Business Supplier Accelerator
Small Business Supplier Accelerator
We believe in fostering strong relationships with small businesses throughout our supply chain, recognizing their crucial role in driving American innovation and economic growth.
With the Verizon Small Business Supplier Accelerator, we are investing $5 billion over the next five years in American small business suppliers. This accelerator program helps create a pipeline for American small businesses to work with Verizon and other large corporations.
By empowering small businesses, we are building a resilient supply chain and investing in a more dynamic business ecosystem that benefits our company, our customers, and our communities.
Our approach is multifaceted:
- Regional seminars, training, and other resources – providing valuable insights on becoming a Verizon supplier and highlighting specific partnership opportunities based on our business needs in addition to the $5 billion supplier spend.
- Flexible solutions – faster payment terms, modified insurance requirements, and adjusted indemnification requirements may help small businesses stay competitive as they grow.
- Mentorship – connecting small businesses with larger businesses in our supply chain, and providing feedback on Go-To-Market strategies.
“Our long-standing commitment and investment in small businesses aims to empower local businesses and communities with financial, technology and business expertise and resources to advance economic growth and foster job creation.”
- Hans Vestberg, CEO, Verizon.
