Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities

The 'Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities' (EBV) at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas represents a significant collaboration on our campus between the Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship, Center for Executive Development and the Mays Business School. Each of these entities, coupled with our donors, brings to life the spirit of Aggieland for aspiring entrepreneurs. The EBV initiative offers cutting edge, experiential training in entrepreneurship and small business management to soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines disabled as a result of their service supporting operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The intent of the EBV is to open the door to entrepreneurial opportunity and small business ownership to you, by developing your competencies in the many steps and activities associated with creating and sustaining an entrepreneurial venture, and also by helping you coordinate your efforts with programs and services for veterans and others with disabilities.

The EBV was first introduced by the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University in 2007. In 2008, the EBV Consortium of Schools was launched, a national partnership with the Mays Business School at Texas A&M University, UCLA Anderson School of Management, and Florida State University’s College of Business. Each of these world-class business schools offered EBV on their campuses in Summer 2008. The Krannert School of Management at Purdue University also joined the EBV consortium, and all five schools offered the EBV on their campuses in Summer 2009.

Like the bootcamp you know, this program is intense, rigorous, and challenging. Building upon Texas A&Ms unique culture and resources, the bootcamp in College Station Texas consists of a series of training modules designed to assist you in growing businesses successfully and profitably. A team of experienced faculty and successful entrepreneurs will work with you, providing a fun, interactive, and informative experience. They will introduce entrepreneurship ideas and concepts, and show how to apply them to your current or potential business. The EBV program is offered entirely free to qualified veterans accepted into the program.
