Becker Digital Graduates from Veteran Institute Procurement (VIP) GROW Program
Becker Digital recently completed the Veteran Institute Procurement (VIP) GROW Program, a comprehensive training and certification program that helps Veteran-owned businesses strengthen their ability to win government contracts and do business with both military and civilian agencies.
On November 6, 2025, Becker Digital was one of 26 businesses from 10 states, plus DC and American Samoa, to graduate from the Veteran Institute for Procurement (VIP) GROW Program.
“The VIP GROW Program provided me the opportunity to connect with fellow veteran entrepreneurs across the nation and gain valuable insights into the evolving federal contracting landscape,” said Jeremy Becker, CEO of Becker Digital. “The lessons learned through VIP GROW will directly strengthen how we operate — from refining our internal systems and compliance processes to improving our strategic approach to teaming and business development. Beyond the technical instruction, the program reinforced the importance of community among veteran-owned small businesses. We’re all working toward a shared goal: serving our nation with the same dedication and integrity we carried in uniform. That shared sense of mission is what makes programs like VIP so impactful.”

The first of its kind in the nation, VIP GROW is facilitated by subject matter experts from industry and government with a goal of increasing the participants’ ability to win and maintain government contracts. VIP GROW participants receive hands-on market-based instruction that helps establish best business practices for federal government contracting. There are over 20 topics taught, including cyber security, insurance, indirect rates, and simplified acquisitions.
"We are honored to give back to the men and women who served our country by providing them with the tools they need to succeed as government contractors," said Barbara Ashe, President of the Montgomery County Chamber Community Foundation. “We hope this training fosters their success as businesses and employers.”
