Verizon Small Business Digital Ready: Free Courses, Coaching & Grant Opportunities!
Small businesses are the backbone of our community and thanks to our partnership with Verizon, weVENTURE WBC clients can access the Verizon Small Business Digital Ready (VSBDR) platform: a full library of free business courses, live trainings, expert-led sessions, and practical tools designed to help you grow.
When you register through the weVENTURE WBC referral link and complete just two courses, you become eligible to apply for monthly $10,000 small business grants with Verizon awarding 10 grants every month throughout 2026.
Even better: if 250 local clients complete two courses, weVENTURE WBC earns a $15,000 grant to support free coaching and in‑person programs for our community. It’s a win‑win for small business owners across the Space Coast.
New this year, Verizon and weVENTURE WBC are also expanding support for Veteran-Owned Businesses and Military Spouses, including dedicating one of the 2026 IMPACT Grants specifically to this community.
In order to be eligible for any IMPACT Grants, you must be registered and learning on VSBDR and be an active weVENTURE WBC client that has participated in coaching or other program in the last two years. IMPACT Grant applications open June 1st so we advise you complete your two VSBDR courses now.
Courses are quick with some as short as 10 minutes and cover essential topics like financial management, branding, technology, legal basics, HR, cybersecurity, and more. Learn at your own pace and start leveling up your business skills in minutes.
