I am deeply honored to announce my acceptance into the highly competitive WiSys VentureHome program! ?? This opportunity not only strengthens my commitment to supporting Freedom-Shocked Veterans through the Military 2 Civilian Mastery Method but also reinforces the momentum of my mission as it evolves into a significant movement in 2025. Already, I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with remarkable business owners and startups within the program. I eagerly anticipate the collaborations ahead and am excited about the prospect of scaling my initiative nationwide by the end of this year. A heartfelt thank you to WiSys VentureHome for their dedication to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship across Wisconsin. Their comprehensive support system—including personalized guidance, access to a vast portfolio of patented technologies, essential business toolkits, and extensive networking opportunities—empowers entrepreneurs like myself to thrive in our local communities. Special thanks to Joshua Wilson, Program Director of Entrepreneurship at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, for setting us up for success at The Coven (Eau Claire) tonight. His leadership and support are invaluable as we embark on this journey. Together, with the support of WiSys VentureHome and the vibrant entrepreneurial community, we are poised to make a lasting impact! ??
