These people want so badly to see and empower others to succeed. It's impossible not to be 100% excited about the results that come out of this place.

I am a Navy veteran and student at Action Zone. Rosie, Valerie and their team of advisors, mentors, and guest speakers have made a valuable impact on my journey to create a business. They provide great resources, a network of established business owners, and guidance for the aspiring entrepreneur to the small business owner. I highly recommend their program to veterans, transitioning military and their spouses. I love their mission: Action Zone was created by the Veteran Community for the Veteran Community. They really care about your growth and success.

As a current client of Action Zone, I am very impressed with my experience thus far. They are a team truly dedicated to helping veterans and their families navigate the uncertain and wily world of entrepreneurship. The curriculum is solid, but they bring much more to the table than a text book. The networking, exposure to mentorship opportunity, connection with resources, and line-up of expert contributors are invaluable bonuses. I've been a successful chiropractor for nearly a decade but have been hesitant to pull the trigger on a new venture for a number of years now. I am grateful for the support that I have received and am super stoked to finally getting this ball rolling with the help of Action Zone!

I've seen witnessed hand the impact Action Zone has on the entrepreneurial dreams of aspiring Vetpreneurs. I've seen the idea turn into actual businesses supporting the economic success of those who have served our nation. Action Zone was purposely created by military Veterans and family members to support the entire military family unity in their business startup goals. There are programs and workshops to create sustainable businesses that create financial security for military families when moving to a new city or country is always on the horizon. Welcoming military dependents of any age, often not eligible for programs for Veterans to support their startup dreams is only a vision those who have experienced the constant relocation of military life. "Entrepreneurship can empower ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things!" Gary Schoeniger, ELI Mindset.
