About this Event
About the Startup Program:
FGCU's School of Entrepreneurship partnered with Veterans Florida back in 2016. Since then, they have helped launch over 161 Veteran-owned businesses, who have collectively generated over $38M in gross revenue. This program has awarded over $746K in grants to the program participants. Now, they are ready to help you launch your dream businesses.
The Startup Program is a tuition-free military veteran entrepreneurship training program that provides equity-free funding directly to veteran-owned businesses. This program is approximately 10-weeks long and is ideal for entrepreneurs early in their business development or just starting out.
