Testimonials
“Really enjoyed attending the MilVets conference Friday! I think what you are doing is commendable: bringing the vet entrepreneur community together...it was clear the conference was well thought out and planned in detail.
”
“Great crowd of entrepreneurs and investors from every branch of service and every geography. Would attend again and recommend others join.
”
“There are quite a few veteran entrepreneur events/conferences/programs out there ... this is the ONLY one where I felt there was a balanced mix of early- and late-stage entrepreneurs, along with legit professionals and career investors. THIS is what the community was missing!
”
“Good networking. Heard 8 pitches in a single day.
