Honored to be part of this team!

From Service to Startups: A New Mission Begins 🇺🇸

They’ve led with courage, discipline, and heart. Now, they’re leading with ideas, innovation, and unstoppable drive.

Introducing a bold new chapter for our local heroes:
The Vetrepreneur Project – where veterans trade their uniforms for vision boards, and battle plans become business plans.

In collaboration with The Venture Project of Oshkosh and Salute the Troops of Fond du Lac, we’re launching a movement—one that helps veterans channel their leadership into launching powerful, purpose-driven businesses.

This isn’t just a business accelerator. It’s a 7-week journey packed with real-world tools, expert mentorship, and the opportunity to compete for $5,000 in seed funding to turn big dreams into real ventures.

💡 From the frontlines to the front office—veterans are rewriting what success looks like.

Are you ready to lead the next mission?
Your future business is waiting to be built.
