Veteran Webinar Series
Registration is now available for sessions 3 and 4
Session 3. Millennial Veteran Entrepreneurs.
Post-9/11 veteran entrepreneurs are the next generation of veterans to continue the growth of veteran-owned businesses.
The purpose of this webinar is to learn more about this group of entrepreneurs and the barriers they may encounter in starting their own businesses, and the resources available through the SBA.
During the webinar, Zoe Jacobson from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Breanna Wakar from Insight Policy Research will present the data on how millennial veteran entrepreneurs differ from their non-veteran peers and veterans of previous generations.
We will also hear from Alex Salas, Business Development Specialist from the SBA OC/IE District Office, who will present the resources available from the SBA to start a business as a veteran.
A Q&A will be available for the participants.
Session 4. Funding and Business Ideas for Veterans.
Many veterans transitioning back into civilian life consider starting a business.
The purpose of this webinar is to inform of the funding opportunities for veteran entrepreneurs and to present the top businesses that veterans have traditionally excelled in, such as franchises.
Franchising is a popular business model, and it accounts for nearly 7.6 million direct jobs and 2.5% of US GDP. Matt Wiggins, Associate Manager from Vet Fran, is joining us to explain why veterans and franchising are a perfect fit.
Also participating in the webinar is Craig Russom, an SBDC Business Consultant, who will present the funding opportunities available from the SBA to start your business or take it to the next level.
In addition, Wendy Klug, the Director of the VBOC of the Dakotas, will introduce us to Julie Sattoff, a successful Veteran Business Owner who opened the first indoor swimming facility in North Dakota, Rocket Dogs K-9 Aquatics & Wellness.
A Q&A will be available for the participants.
