Veteran's Cohort

Where Bold Ideas Become Thriving Businesses

Applications open April 15th
PROGRAM COST FOR PARTICIPANTS: 
None (funded through a generous grant by Associated Bank)
Are you a veteran — or the spouse, partner, or child of one — ready to take your business idea seriously? Our 12-week business accelerator is built for people who already know how to operate under pressure. Now let's put that to work.

What you'll get:
  • Your Skills Already Transfer: Leadership, logistics, working under pressure, executing with incomplete information...you know the drill, and the secret is that these skills are highly applicable to building businesses. This program helps you recognize and apply them.
  • A High-Accountability Environment: You've operated in high-stakes environments before. We match that energy. Every session is designed to build momentum and keep it.
  • Listen, Then Act: We start by understanding your vision and your challenges, then help you build actionable strategies to bring your business to life.
  • A Tight Community: With only 12 spots, you'll build alongside a cohort of veterans and veteran family members who get it. The lived experience in the room will be one of your greatest resources.

Who Should Apply?
Veterans and immediate family members of veterans with a business idea, an early-stage startup, or a clear sense that it's time to build something. Whether you're refining a concept or ready to launch, this program meets you where you are.
