Editor's take
Transitioning service members and eligible family members who need a zero-cost, low-time intro to whether entrepreneurship is right for them.
You already have a business plan drafted or you have owned a business before. This is 101, not 201.
Just show up. No prerequisites. If you have a business idea already, bring notes so you can pressure-test it during exercises.
Often a precursor to deeper engagement with VBOCs and VetToCEO.
