She's the perfect instructor to guide Veterans on their entrepreneurial journey," shared Interim Director of the SBTDC Business Launch Program Neal McTighe, PhD.

The course will also allow participants to receive access to funding opportunities which, according to the SBTDC, is one of the biggest barriers faced by military entrepreneurs.
"Our military-focused cohort provides comprehensive business development support, empowering participants to transform their entrepreneurial visions into reality. Through interactive workshops, peer networking and expert guidance, we equip Veterans and military spouses with the essential tools and knowledge to launch successful businesses,” said Course Instructor Lindsay Hinger. “Our program focuses on building strong foundations in business ownership, while offering ongoing mentorship to navigate challenges and achieve long-term success."
