Veterans Business Battle

Join the largest veteran-focused business plan competition in the country.
The 10th Annual Veterans Business Battle will take place on April 18-20, 2024

Register to Attend

The Veterans Business Battle began in 2015 with a goal of inspiring and encouraging our nation’s military heroes to become successful entrepreneurs. Each year, the two-day event gives military veterans an opportunity to pitch business ideas for a chance to raise capital from investors and lenders. During the competition, finalists pitch investors, receive feedback from industry professionals, network with potential investors, and learn from other entrepreneurial success stories. With more than $5 million of investments, it’s the largest veteran business competition in the country.
