Veterans once formed the core of the United States. Entrepreneur and business founder class in America. Nearly half of WWII Veterans launched businesses after the conclusion of their service compared with just over 5% of today’s Veterans. There are a few reasons for this. Compared to their civilian counterparts, research reveals Veterans struggle to:

  • Access capital necessary to launch and grow a business.
  • Access to business/professional networks.
  • Apply their military training as a competitive business advantage.

For more than a decade, Syracuse University’s D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) has empowered Veterans and military families to create their very best post-service lives. For many, that includes opening a business, and IVMF has worked hard to make that American dream more accessible to Veterans nationwide through a broad portfolio of training programs and conferences.
