About WVEC

WVEC is not a standalone entrepreneurship program. It is a free online platform, which serves as a gateway for Women Veteran entrepreneurs to network with one another and connect to carefully selected resources, programs, and strategic partners that deliver exceptional support. Rather than scrambling to figure out where to go, who to ask, or how to identify vetted resources, Women Veteran entrepreneurs can easily connect to the ecosystem of trusted programs and services found in WVEC.
 
Our purpose is simple: remove barriers, increase visibility, and amplify opportunities so Women Veteran entrepreneurs can confidently advance their entrepreneurial journeys.

WVEC is for Women Veteran entrepreneurs at all stages of their entrepreneurial journey. Whether you are just getting started, building momentum, or scaling your business, WVEC will give you the ecosystem in which to thrive.
