Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans Programs

Hosted by the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship's Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship, the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans (EBV) programs harness the transformative power of entrepreneurship by combining higher-education resources with innovative training to support military veterans and their family members.

EBV Accelerate

EBV Accelerate gives veterans with an established business the tools and training to propel their businesses to the next phase: sustainable growth. This impactful three-phase program allows veterans to grow and scale their businesses, create jobs for fellow veterans and civilians, and generate lasting economic benefits for their communities. Please give today and help us serve those who have served.

EBV Families

The EBV Families program provides a vocational path forward for military family members through the power of entrepreneurship. EBV-F leverages a three-phase training approach to support spouses and caregivers of veterans, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to launch and grow a small business that enables financial contribution to their households and fosters a positive impact in their communities. Please donate today to help us support veteran families and caregivers as they support our nation’s veterans.
