ABOUT THE EVENT / Come and learn, leave EMPOWERED

In 2019, we gathered 50+ Vetpreneurs in Washington D.C. and held our Business Accelerator in partnership with the Military Influencers Conference. A transformative half-day event that blew the socks off everyone who attended.

Well, we’re doing it again and this time it’s a full-blown event.

The Humble Alpha Veteran Empowerment is teaming up with the Synergy Learning Institute and the StreetShares Foundation to help Veterans level up their business and to bring back the camaraderie we all know and love.

The StreetShares Foundation brings it’s famous $50,000 Military Entrepreneur Challenge. This award is sponsored by Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream initiative and Holland & Knight law firm.

Synergy Learning Institute is also sponsoring $34,000 in academic courses.

Plus a VIP dinner in the evening for even more connection and live music! Can’t forget Quality of Life!

If you’re a struggling business owner needing real support and concrete actionable steps to take your business to the next level of success, this is the event is for you.

If you’re an experienced business owner and looking to pioneer the next level of leadership in the business world, this is the event for you. Yes, bold claim and we are backing it up.

When we gathered in 2019, many of the those attended had been active in the Tribe for years, yet never met each other in person. Many people were finally able to put a name to face, and the in-person connections were beyond great.

The true camaraderie spirit was moving and everyone enjoyed it. Oh, and everyone got exactly what they needed in the business (and so much more).

Here’s what you get (but not limited to):

  • Your business questions answered (finally)
  • Actionable steps to take in your business (and life)
  • Clarity moving forward in life and business
  • Camaraderie that you’ve been looking for
  • Support from those who are on the path with you
  • Connect with those you’ve only met online
  • A chance to win cash, legal advice and certified education

Sounds like a no-brainer to us. Get your ticket and be sure you have at least 5 people you want to meet in person (invite them). Check the Eventbrite page to get purchase your ticket.

This is going to be an incredible event. Lots of awesome connections, great people and most importantly, you’re growing your business to the next level.
