AI can help your small business work smarter, grow faster, and achieve more.
The Digital Ready AI Accelerator is a free, exclusive 12-week program, sponsored by Verizon Small Business Digital Ready in partnership with Next Street, that begins this September and helps small business owners move from exploring AI to actually using it, with expert support every step of the way.
Here's what the 12 weeks look like: You'll pick one process in your business - like marketing, sales, finance, or data analysis - and build a real AI-driven workflow around it.
Along the way, you'll get:
- Weekly expert-led workshops with guest speakers from Google, OpenAI, Mastercard, and more.
- Hands-on access to leading AI platforms, so you can test tools using your own business instead of guessing.
- A dedicated mentor through weekly group sessions and one-on-one coaching as you build your implementation plan.
This program is designed for small business owners with established operations, repeatable processes, and recurring revenue who are ready to put AI to work.
Only 50 businesses will be selected. Applications close August 21 - apply now.
