VetsinTech is kicking off an innovative national program to help veteran entrepreneurs called VetCap (capital for veterans). VetsinTech is an independent non-profit organization made up of technology industry leaders and veterans with a mission to help train, connect and find jobs for veterans interested in technology careers.
VetCap is a new initiative for a national series of workshops to help train veteran entrepreneurs on where and how to raise capital, and to connect them to a network of financing sources. A 2011 Small Business Administration (SBA) study concluded that "veterans are at least 45 percent more likely than those with no active-duty military experience to be self-employed." The founders of the VetCap initiative came up with this concept following a White House and Joining Forces Veterans Entrepreneurship Workshop in February, bringing together private-sector innovators and entrepreneurs to brainstorm and accelerate the development of new programs to help veterans find and grow their businesses. VetCap is an independent initiative inspired by these discussions and is organized by VetsinTech and other private-sector partners nationwide.
A panel of expert investors/lenders from the major capital categories will lead discussions on “Where to Raise Capital” and “How to Pitch to Investors”. The audience will consist of roughly 50 veteran entrepreneurs from around the country, including up to ten veterans who will be pitching their startups to the panel of experts. Panel members and organizers include:
VC
Angel Investor
Corp Ventures
Bank/Lender
Crowdfunder
SBA
