Last week, 25 veterans from 17 states advanced their goal of business ownership by attending classes, networking events and presentations to learn the fundamentals of running a business from accomplished entrepreneurs and professors as part of Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans (EBV), an eight-day, no-cost-to-veterans intensive on starting and building a business.
“Now in its 12th year, EBV has grown to include nine colleges and universities, almost 2,000 graduates and successful business ventures in nearly every industry,” says Syracuse University Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives and Innovation and IVMF Executive Director J. Michael Haynie. “The program has endured as a result of the milestones and accomplishments of our graduates as well as the power entrepreneurship offers to change lives, families and communities.”
