Veteran Entrepreneur Network: Access to Capital

Every Veteran Entrepreneur Network event is built around a single mission-critical theme. This one is about access to capital.

If you are preparing for your first loan, looking to scale your business, or trying to understand how lenders really make decisions, this event is for you.

This evening brings together veteran entrepreneurs, experienced lenders, and trusted community partners for a no-nonsense conversation about how capital works in the real world. You will learn how lenders evaluate borrowers, what it means to be truly application-ready, and how to position your business for funding success.

The format is designed for action. Expect meaningful networking, a featured access-to-capital session, and a lending panel focused on loans for startups and growing businesses. No fluff. No sales pitches. Just practical insight you can use.

• Mission-driven networking with veteran entrepreneurs and founders
• Practical insight into how lenders evaluate borrowers
