Virtual Veteran Entrepreneur Summit

Your military experience, strategic thinking, meticulous discipline, and will to win all have proven to serve Veterans well as they transition from service in uniform to business ownership. We tip our hats to veteran small business owners who make significant contributions to the U.S. economy and add immense value to their local communities.

The 2020 Virtual Veteran Entrepreneur Summit will focus on Small Business Administration veteran resources, tips for veteran businesses, access to capital, and more. Virtual Veteran Entrepreneur Summit attendees will also gain valuable knowledge, insight, and practical tips for working with the federal government.

The virtual conference will feature speakers from Veteran owned businesses like the 2020 National Small Business Person of the Year, a Rice University Veteran Business Battle winner and current member of the SBA's Advisory Committee on Veterans Business Affairs.

Whether you are an aspiring Veteran entrepreneur or already boots on ground in the business world, join us October 22nd to learn what the SBA has done for other Veteran businesses and what it can do for you.
