Veteran Entrepreneurship Program
Practical Business Skills
At the heart of the Veterans Entrepreneurship Program (VEP) is an intense, immersive, rigorous, practical STRIVE Program. The STRIVE Program is a program offered through Syracuse University Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF). STRIVE provides Veterans that have a nascent (budding) early-stage business, or idea for a business with an opportunity to act. By stress testing the business with a rigorous business modeling, design thinking, effectuation, and cohort-based curriculum, participants will develop their entrepreneurial competency and interact with an array of subject matter experts that help support aspiring entrepreneurs. This program will help to identify, overcome, and mitigate trouble spots within the business model, leading to increased potential for success.
