Verizon Climate Resilience Prize

The Verizon Climate Resilience Prize, based in Oakland, California, was established to support early-stage businesses in developing scalable climate-resilience solutions. In collaboration with GreenBiz and Resilient Cities Network, the initiative aims to accelerate an equitable, climate-resilient future by providing funding, ongoing assistance, and networking opportunities to promising startups. The Prize focuses on empowering companies that can offer innovative solutions to climate-related challenges, ensuring they have the resources needed to scale their impact.

Notable affiliates include GreenBiz and the Resilient Cities Network, both of which are key partners in this initiative. The Prize has recognized several impactful startups, such as Floodbase, which provides critical flood data to global reinsurers, brokers, and governments.
