Celebrate National Mentor Month: Join VetBiz in Empowering Veteran Entrepreneurs


As we recognize National Mentor Month, VetBiz is proud to highlight our vital partnership with SCORE's Mentor Program, which plays a crucial role in supporting Veteran entrepreneurs. Through this collaboration, we're helping Veterans transform their military experience into successful business ventures.


Every successful entrepreneur can point to someone who guided them along their journey. For Veteran business owners, having a mentor who understands both the business landscape and the unique challenges of transitioning from military to civilian life can make all the difference. This is where VetBiz's mentorship program, in partnership with SCORE, creates lasting impact.



SCORE, one of VetBiz's trusted resource partners, brings decades of mentorship expertise to our Veteran community. Their volunteer mentors provide:

  • One-on-one guidance tailored to each Veteran's business needs
  • Access to extensive business resources and tools
  • Ongoing support throughout the business development process


VetBiz is actively seeking experienced business professionals to join our volunteer mentor network. If you have what it takes to guide the next generation of Veteran entrepreneurs, we want to hear from you. Whether you're a Veteran yourself or a business professional who wants to give back, your expertise is valuable. By becoming a VetBiz mentor, you'll not only share your knowledge but also gain the rewarding experience of helping Veterans succeed in their entrepreneurial journey.


Our services are provided to our clients at no cost. If you can’t volunteer your time and talents, we would greatly appreciate your financial support. Your gift could be the catalyst that helps a Veteran succeed in business. Together, we can strengthen the Veteran business community and create lasting economic impact.


VetBiz is committed to fostering success in Veteran-owned businesses through free mentorship, resources, and support. Visit us to learn more about our programs and how you can get involved: www.vetbiz.com

"I had the pleasure of meeting with Damon Chaffin (VetBiz Sr. Business Consultant), and our conversation left me more energized than ever! His insights and guidance have given me a sense of clarity as I continue to develop my business.


There’s a lot of work to be done, but I'm embracing every moment of this journey. Building a business is not just about the destination but enjoying the process, learning, and growing along the way. Grateful for the support and excited for what's to come."
