The D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) is proud to introduce the 60 veteran and military spouse founders and executives of our newest CEOcircle cohort. They represent some of our nation’s brightest rising stars in the world of business. Together, they’ll go on a 13-month journey to grow and scale their ventures, learning from not just each other, but a roster of high-profile guest speakers and advisors IVMF and JPMorganChase have brought together.
“Through our research at the IVMF, we know that a strong network of support is paramount for veteran entrepreneurs,” says Misty Fox, IVMF’s Director of Entrepreneurship and Small Business programs. “CEOcircle offers veteran entrepreneurs an incredible opportunity to meet, speak with, and network with other success-driven veterans in the entrepreneurship ecosystem, and we’re looking forward to the pending success these veterans will have in scaling their businesses after they’ve graduated.”
