As we have grown as a platform, small businesses, entrepreneurs and sole proprietors have been a core part of the thriving Venmo community and we have been committed to providing a safe, secure and easy way for our business customers to accept payments, while helping to enable the success of the businesses who use our platform by connecting them with millions of Venmo customers. Since its creation, community has been at the core of everything we do at Venmo. These Venmo Small Businesses Were Just Awarded $10,000 to Fuel their Businesses From an American Sign Language teacher to a hot pickled pepper business, the recipients span all walks of life and backgrounds. The selected businesses have demonstrated a strong foundation, vision for the future, and great examples of how Venmo Business Profiles helped them on their path to success. I had the honor of being part of the judging panel who selected the 20 recipients of the Grant, which was no small feat because every story was inspiring. The number of applications is a clear indication of how needed this type of support really is. One of the reasons we launched the Grant was to help the small business community get the little boost they need to grow and prosper. But after 2 weeks, we ended up receiving more than 50k eligible applications. When we first announced the Venmo Small Business Grant in July, we expected 2-3K applications.
