Today only 9 percent of US veterans own their own business, down from 50 percent after World War II. Responding to that issue, sbLiftOff organized and co-hosted the first national gathering of veterans interested in “Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition,” VetsETA’21. Our goal – to see that young vets get a chance to buy and grow their own small business.
This year sbLiftOff again partnered with the National Veteran Small Business Coalition on VetsETA’23 – bringing together a growing network of veteran groups, investors, business schools, and financial services firms who want to fuel small business ownership among our nation’s veterans.
Onward to making the American dream of business ownership a reality for our nation’s veterans.
