FeMil Lead℠ Sunsets and Merges with Vets 2.0℠: A New Era for Veteran Entrepreneurship
FeMil Lead℠ was launched as a two-month initiative aimed at supporting military spouses and transitioning service members in building and growing their businesses. During its brief but impactful run, the program provided valuable guidance in areas such as digital business strategy, entrepreneurship, and networking. By equipping participants with essential tools and knowledge, FeMil Lead℠ helped military-affiliated entrepreneurs establish a solid foundation for success.
One of the program’s key strengths was its ability to connect military entrepreneurs with the larger business community. Through local events near military bases, participants had opportunities to engage with potential customers, business partners, and mentors. These events helped bridge the gap between military-affiliated businesses and the broader market, fostering stronger economic engagement and business growth.
Although FeMil Lead℠ is now coming to a close, its mission is not ending. Instead, the program is merging with Vets 2.0℠, an initiative led by Kevin D. Shoun. This merger represents an opportunity to expand the reach and impact of the work started by FeMil Lead℠, ensuring that military entrepreneurs continue to receive guidance and support as they navigate their business journeys.

A groundbreaking initiative co-created with visionary Angel Shuford, Vets 2.0℠ is designed to support veterans in navigating their new chapters with resilience, community, and opportunity.
