Cohort Based Training

– VEI Launch:
Introduces veterans to the Business Model Canvas and provides in-depth insight into the key steps needed to build a startup. The cohort will enable veterans at the idea stage or in the early stages of business development to learn how to rapidly develop and test ideas by gathering customer and marketplace feedback. This methodology also enables veterans to validate their business model by focusing on searching for pain points and unmet needs of their customers. This iterative process enables veterans to quickly pivot with the goal of ultimately building the foundation for a viable business model.

6 sessions, 3 hours per session.

– VEI Scale Up:
For veteran led companies generating revenue and looking to scale. The cohort helps veterans clarify business concepts or models by walking them through the steps of planning, adjusting and re-shaping the business model and/or growth plan.
