Military veteran entrepreneurs are making a large impact on the startup ecosystem and will continue to do so in the years and decades ahead.

1/ The military veteran entrepreneur ecosystem has progressed rapidly over the past few years thanks to nonprofits such as Bunker Labs and Warrior Rising, and the success of many veteran entrepreneurs like Socrates Rosenfeld, A.J. Altman, Mark Frank, Taylor Justice, and many others.

2/ The number of venture funds that invest in military veteran entrepreneurs have also increased. At the Military Veteran Startup (MVS) conference we have a panel where many of the aforementioned founders will be participating in. Register for the conference here: https://lnkd.in/gVNjDrZw

3/ Below are a few venture funds that invest in military veteran entrepreneurs. Please let me know if I’ve missed any (Linkedin capped the # of mentions I could make but many are listed in our Military Veteran Startup Report, https://lnkd.in/gJ9wm4QE)!

4/ If you are a military veteran founder looking to raise capital, then this is a good list to pursue and you can meet many at the MVS. If you can avoid raising capital, then do so, and go get those customers!

5/ Also, if you are a VC looking to invest in military veteran entrepreneurs, then join us at the MVS!
