The Dynamic & Growing Military Veteran Startup Ecosystem
1/ We just sent out an email to thousands of military veteran founders, VCs, operators, and allies. In the next few years to decades there will be consequential companies founded and led by military veteran founders. We are humbled to be part of this ecosystem and look forward to seeing the results of everyone’s hard work in the military veteran community.

7/ The Military Veteran Startup Conference 2024 (MVS24) planning is already in high gear.
The Military Veteran Startup conference is the premier event that brings together military veteran founders, VCs, institutional LPs, operators, and founders. There were several unicorn founders at our 2023 event and there will be several at our 2024 event. There is no other event/forum that gathers our diverse community this way. Dealmaking happened at this event between founders and VCs, strategic partnerships, VCs with institutional limited partners, and hiring.
In the coming weeks to months we can share some VIPs who have confirmed they will attend. We are excited about MVS24. Sign up here for the event.
Here are just a few of the following confirmed speakers for MVS24:
David Hornik of Lobby Capital
Kai Ryssdal
