Capital Education + Happy Hour + Networking + Food
Join the VetsinTech Boston Chapter for an evening of networking, community building, and practical conversations about accessing capital.
This special Boston Chapter event will feature VetCap, VetsinTech’s capital education program for veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs, while bringing together members of the Greater Boston military-connected community for an evening of learning and connection.
