Funded by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) through its Capital Readiness Program, V-CAP provides free technical assistance and educational resources to help veteran and military-connected entrepreneurs become financially prepared and build a pathway to business success. Key areas of support include:
