At VentureVets, our leadership combines deep entrepreneurial experience with unwavering dedication to veteran success. Led by co-founders Courtney and Nathan Zaugg, we're more than just a team – we're mission-driven entrepreneurs who understand both the challenges and opportunities in the veteran business journey.

​

Since 2017, we have been deeply committed to supporting veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs, providing mentorship, guidance, and vital connections to resources and investors. Their journey includes:

​

• Founding seven companies, including a tech startup focused on senior housing

• Creating a not-for-profit supporting community-centric entrepreneurship initiatives

• Building deep connections within the Bunker Labs community

• Actively supporting local and national veteran-focused programs

 

What sets our team apart is our firsthand understanding of the entrepreneurial journey. We've built businesses from the ground up, navigated funding challenges, and experienced the ups and downs of startup life. This personal experience informs everything we do at VentureVets, from our pre-accelerator program to our mentorship approach.

 

Our mission goes beyond business support – we're creating a movement that transforms how veterans, first responders, and military spouses build innovative companies. Through our combined experience and passionate commitment, we're building a future where service members can successfully transition their leadership skills into entrepreneurial success.
