The VentureVets Fund: Fueling Veteran Innovation
Launching in 2025, the VentureVets Fund represents more than capital – it's a testament to our belief in veteran entrepreneurial excellence. Born from our journey of supporting hundreds of veteran-led businesses, we've witnessed firsthand the untapped potential within our service communities. Now, we're taking the next bold step.
Why This Fund Matters The entrepreneurial landscape has changed dramatically since World War II, when 50% of veterans owned businesses. Today's veteran military spouse entrepreneurs face unique challenges in accessing capital, despite possessing extraordinary leadership capabilities and innovative ideas. We're here to bridge that gap.
