Verizon Forward for Good Accelerator
The Forward For Good program was created with Verizon as a way to support startups leveraging technology to make a positive impact. We partnered with startups that had the capability to leverage Verizon’s 5G technology, and worked with them to accelerate and scale their businesses.
A16-week innovation program was developed, bringing together Verizon executive leadership, industry leaders, experts, nonprofits, and the most promising new solutions focused on addressing climate justice. We built a fully bespoke curriculum and supporting community for this program, while capitalizing on Verizon’s unique capabilities to give the startups differentiated advantages.

A major part of our mission was to amplify the needs of communities, so we went straight to the source. The Forward For Good Docuseries included an anthem film and seven micro-documentaries which followed each startup as they worked with communities on the ground.
Anthem Film: Prior to the launch of the series, we created an anthem film to introduce audiences to the work Verizon was doing with our startups. Three solutions were highlighted for the anthem, along with Verizon’s perspective on the program.
Full docuseries coming soon!
