You Don't Have to Build It Alone

A no-cost, intensive entrepreneurship program backed by leading universities, for post-9/11 veterans and military families.

Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans (EBV) and Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans' Families (EBV-F) are two tracks of the same program. Applicants must be in the early start-up phase of business development (typically within 12–24 months of launching, or with a strong business concept close to launch).
An EBV team member sits across a classroom table from an attendee wearing a suit to have a lively one-on-one conversation.

  • A 30-day virtual program led by real instructors
  • Travel, lodging, and meals covered for the full experience, at no cost
  • Training backed by leading universities and world-class business schools
