Comcast RISE brings together two of the companys brands Comcast Business and Effectv, both with expertise in the small business space to empower business owners with the expertise and resources needed to navigate the economic effects of the pandemic.

Fueling the success of small businesses is what our business is all about. We partner with them to better understand their needs and what we can do to help them grow. Our success is their success, said James Lavallee, Vice President, Sales Marketing, Effectv. Thats why, at a time when so many in our small business communities are struggling, its incredibly humbling to be able to give back and share our knowledge and resources with those hardest by the pandemic. We want to help our partners and communities rise.
