Member Spotlight – The Veterans In Business Network

Member Spotlight

February 3, 2023

The Veterans In Business (VIB) Network is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that advocates for all Veteran Businesses including SDVOSBs and DVBEs. The VIB Network helps Veteran businesses build connections between Corporations, Government Agencies, and Prime Contractors looking to create partnerships for contracting opportunities. Thanks to their corporate and government partners, they are able to provide a FREE Veteran business directory, business resources, educational seminars, outreach opportunities, a Veteran 2 Veteran Business Cohort Program, Boots to Contracts Program, Business Development Scholarships and more.

The VIB Network recognizes the need for a streamlined approach to connecting veterans to business resources as well as contract opportunities. Veteran businesses have been taken advantage of by being charged an exorbitant fee to be included in some directories or for business development programs that should be free. Veterans have sacrificed for our country, and the VIB Network would like to offer these resources to all Veteran businesses for a nominal fee or free. With shared knowledge and support through their Network, all Veterans in Business can succeed together.

In addition to their educational and program offerings, the VIB Network holds an Annual National Conference that focuses on providing networking opportunities for Veteran Business Owners to connect with Corporations, Government Agencies and other Veteran Businesses. Activities including Tactical Networking, One on One Business Matchmaking, and their receptions allow for small businesses to get the face to face time they need to help grow their contacts, and overall, their business.

The Veterans in Business Network is excited to host their 7th Annual VIB Network National Conference in San Diego, CA on November 13th and 14th, 2023.
