The annual Veterans Future Lab Summit hosted by NYU Tandon School of Engineering provides essential resources and networking support to help veteran entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses across the country. Since 2015, over 250+ active duty service members, veterans, and military spouses have graduated from the Veterans Entrepreneurship Training (VET) program presented by NYU Veterans Future Labs. AmeriVet Securities is proud to sponsor this year’s event and continue our support towards great programs that augment the military entrepreneur community.

Co-CEO Mercedes Elias was invited to moderate a riveting panel discussion focused on fundraising as a small business or startup during the current economic climate with an all-star group of leaders from the veteran entrepreneurship community. Panelist included Robert Garland (Founder and CEO, Fund The First), Jacqueline Blackburn (Principal, Decisive Point), and Brandon Shelton (TFX Capital, Managing Partner).
