Had an incredible time at PS27 Ventures event where we had the privilege of speaking to our nation's heroes about the journey of owning a small business post-military service. This forum gave us an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and provide resources available from mentorship programs to funding options. Huge thanks to the organizers for providing a platform to amplify the voices of veteran entrepreneurs.

Last week, we had the pleasure of attending the last Collision Conf in Toronto! 🚀 We were there supporting the Black Entrepreneurship Alliance (BEA), and it was a great opportunity to network, meet new small business owners, and learn more about the world of tech! BEA was there as part of the Black Innovation Zone - a collective of 9 Black-led organizations (Black Entrepreneurship Alliance, Nobellum, Federation of Black Canadians, Black Founders Network, African Impact Initiative, BlackNorth Initiative, Black Opportunity Fund, DMZ, Tribe Network) curated to boost visibility and support for Black founders, and professionals in Canada! Although we're not the exact audience for Collision (we don't know much about tech 😅) it was still great to explore the world through the eyes of the innovators, developers, and individuals developing new ideas for the future. ✨ If you attended this year's Collision, what did you find the most insightful about the conference? 💭 #Collision2024 #TechConference #EquityandInclusion #Entrepreneur

Per the U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Adocacy's Small Business Profile, 7.3 percent of all businesses in Nevada are veteran-owned, Starting a business poses its challenges, but former service members possess a unique advantage: the robust support of the veteran community. Many resources are available to veteran business owners, from informative guides to startup funding and invaluable networking opportunities. Here are a few resources tailored to assist veterans in launching and developing their businesses: Nevada Veterans Business Outreach Center, U.S. Small Business Administration, Nevada Small Business Development Center, SCORE Mentors Northern Nevada, SCORE Mentors Las Vegas, and Southern Nevada Veterans Chamber of Commerce. #NevadaVeteran #VeteranOwned #VeteranBusinessOwners #Resources
