Do you love beer? Do you love money? Are you a military veteran who owns a business? Would you like to improve your business strategy and learn from experts through mentoring in essential business disciplines, such as social media, sales and distribution, marketing and package design?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then listen up. The StreetShares Foundation teamed with Sam Adams Brewing the American Dream to provide the military and veteran community with access to capital and mentoring through StreetShares' Veteran Small Business Awards.
The StreetShares' Veteran Small Business Award will provide $100,000 in business grants to the chosen recipient in addition to educational resources and support. By connecting you with experts and hosting speed-coaching events all across the country, StreetShares gets to help you, a veteran and entrepreneur, succeed.
To apply, submit a video pitch and short application to the StreetShares Foundation website. In your application, be sure to include a business idea, how you'd use reward funds, how your product or service fits your target market, team and company history, and how your business impacts the military and veteran community.
About the StreetShares Foundation
The StreetShares Foundation was launched on Veterans Day 2016, with the goal of educating, inspiring and supporting veteran business owners across America. The foundation is run by veterans and based just outside of our nation's capital.
"Research shows military veterans give back to their communities in powerful ways, but studies also show this special breed of entrepreneurs need coaching and better mentor networks," said StreetShares Foundation board member Mark L. Rockefeller. "Our partnership with Sam Adams Brewing the American Dream addresses these needs head-on. Together, we'll provide community-impact veteran business owners with free coaching, mentoring and grants to put their dreams in motion."
