Entrepreneurship Training for Veterans
Our Veterans Business Accelerator Program is facilitated by successful small business owners who are also are veterans.

Starting a business from scratch gets all the glory but is not the only path to becoming a veteran business owner. We explore the pros and cons associated with three paths to small business ownership - startups, franchising, and buying an existing business.

You'll join a group of fellow qualified veterans and Active, Guard, and Reserve military who are either exploring entrepreneurship as a career path choice or already have active small businesses and want to learn more.

The program is an 8-week long online (virtual) course you can attend from anywhere. We provide you with the means to network with your peers, and we bring our partners to the table to share success and failure stories along the way.

Each session is taught by a live instructor that can translate their own experience into valuable lessons for each of the veterans wanting to be a successful entrepreneur. There are also some seasoned guest speakers, from just about relevant background: marketing, legal, operational, financing, franchise, startup, and the existing acquisition space, relate the information in that particular module adding their own anecdotes and firsthand information.

Our program is free with proof of service (DD214 or Government ID - you can redact SSNs before submitting).

PLEASE NOTE: You must have completed Warrior Academy first before enrolling in Warrior University. For more information, see the Warrior Academy page under the Vetrepreneur tab in the menu bar above.

“Thank you for everything you did to make NYC happen! It was amazing and something I'll never forget. I appreciate everything you've done and Warrior Rising is doing for me, my company and my fellow veterans. It means the world to me!”

Dustin PerkinsAlumni Vetrepreneur

“I used to be an effective communicator and presenter and now it's a struggle because I developed a stutter. But Warrior Rising pushed me to step outside that comfort zone, embrace that suck, and get over it so I can get back to who I was. You gave me back something way more valuable than any cash prize. You lit that fire and belief that I can not only be who I was, but I can come out the other side better than I was. I can't say enough how much I love you guys, I appreciate you all, and I can't wait to be an example of how you guys build businesses and people.”

Kirk GomezAlumni Vetrepreneur

“Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart. The connections I have made and even the material things I was granted will truly have a strong long term impact on the current and future state of my business.”
