The Change Corp Project for Veteran Entrepreneurs

The Change Corp Project is an attempt to “change” and improve the way Veteran entrepreneurs get their information about ‘what’s next’ for their small business. The Change Corp Project is a website that allows contributors to ask good questions and get good answers. It also will allow Veteran small business practitioners to review and rate the institutions and individuals which they encounter during their search for information during their small business journey.
The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) as well as the The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans' Families (EBV-F) programs help our disabled veterans and families with entrepreneurship and small business management.
