Mission Statement
VETtoCEO empowers transitioning military veterans to become confident leaders and successful business owners by building on the discipline and skills gained through military service. We cultivate the entrepreneurial mindset and provide tailored guidance in startup development, franchising, and business acquisition. Our programs focus on real-world strategies built on the leadership and discipline veterans already possess..
WHO WE ARE
We are a mostly volunteer organization of military veterans. We own small businesses, or we are experts in our fields. VETtoCEO was founded in 2013 by two Army veterans-turned-entrepreneurs who realized their military service had prepared them for business ownership — and that no veteran should have to spend a decade figuring that out alone. Since then, more than 11,000 veterans have come through our free, live, online programs across 40+ cohorts. We hold GuideStar's Gold Seal of Transparency and have been profiled in Entrepreneur magazine, Military Families magazine, VFW Magazine, and many other publications.
