Embarking on a business journey without proper guidance can feel overwhelming. Why take the leap without the essential tools for success? 

These military cohorts—designed for active, reserve, spouse, or veterans—offer an opportunity for high-potential startups and founders to network with fellow military-connected entrepreneurs, as well as members of the North Carolina Veterans Business Association. Through interactive learning, participants will receive personalized guidance from experienced instructors and guest mentors, with a focus on how to leverage the skills and benefits of your military status.

Participants can anticipate acquiring the following:

  • Intellectual Property Guide
  • Digital Marketing Strategies
  • Market and Industry Insights
  • Customer Discovery Techniques
