Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans
Training Veterans for a New Kind of Challenge
The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) consortium offers cutting-edge, experiential training in entrepreneurship and small business management to soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines disabled as a result of their service to operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The intent of the EBV is to open the door to small business ownership by developing your competencies in building and sustaining an entrepreneurial venture. EBV also helps you coordinate your efforts with other programs and services for veterans.

“We have an obligation to support disabled veterans who return to our communities and seek to build meaningful economic opportunities for themselves and others.”
Al Osborne,
EBV Faculty Director
Program Details
EBV applications will be accepted from veterans with a “service-connected disability” (as designated by the Veterans Administration) who served on active duty after September 2001.
This program is entirely free of cost to the veteran. As a result of the generous support of the universities in the EBV consortium and the private giving of individuals and corporations, we are able to cover all costs (including travel, lodging and meals) for delegates accepted to the EBV.
The EBV program represents a unique opportunity for men and women who have served in the interest of America’s freedom, enabling them to take an important step toward realizing their economic independence through entrepreneurship. EBV is a selective, rigorous and intense educational initiative; accordingly, the application process is rigorous and selective.
Successful candidates for admission will demonstrate a strong interest in entrepreneurship, high motivation for owning and managing a business, and a high likelihood of successful completion of this intense training program. Applications for the 2022 programs are now being accepted on a rolling admissions basis.
