Your Next Mission: Building a Thriving Business with the Veteran Founder Blueprint™

The Veteran Founder Blueprint™ is an 8-week (Tuesdays, September 15 - November 3) results-driven program designed to help veteran entrepreneurs gain traction and grow their business in their first three years of operation.

Led by Lisa Ducharme, USAF, Retired, the Veteran Founder Blueprint™ helps veterans bridge the gap between military service and business success by turning service-tested skills into practical business strategies.

Why businesses in their first three years? The first three years are the most fragile and defining years of a business. This is the period when founders are moving from an idea and passion to a sustainable, revenue-generating company.

  • Complete one focused field action each week

  • Test an idea, speak with customers, strengthen a connection, or refine your offer

  • Use what you learn to plan, act, review, and adjust
