PenFed Foundation Announces September 2026 Veteran Entrepreneur Accelerator Cohort
The PenFed Foundation for Military Heroes has announced its upcoming Veteran Entrepreneur Program cohort, set to begin in San Antonio, Texas. The program includes four days of in-person training followed by six weeks of virtual mentorship aimed at supporting veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs across various industries such as healthcare, technology, consumer products, and workforce development. The selected companies are at different stages of growth but share a common goal: leveraging innovation to solve real-world problems. These ventures include AI-driven platforms for government affairs, outdoor property maintenance systems, health services using responsible AI, and modular carry solutions for first responders and military personnel. The program is designed to provide participants with the tools needed to scale their businesses effectively. Terry Williams, a retired U.S. Marine Corps Brigadier General and Director of the Veteran Entrepreneur Program at PenFed Foundation, emphasized San Antonio's strong veteran community as an ideal location for fostering collaboration among these entrepreneurs.
