Military veterans with the goal of forging their own path in the business world have a new place to turn for financial backing. The recently launched Veterans Business Battle is the top business plan competition for veterans in the country, offering more than $900,000 in funding to finalists who prove they have what it takes to excel in the startup arena.
Established in 2015 by the Houston chapter of Entrepreneurs Organization and Rice University’s Veterans in Business Association, the battle quickly established a name for itself. By delivering more than $900,000 in investment offers to finalists in its first year alone, the event entered the field as one of the top business plan competitions in the country overall.
Geared exclusively to veteran-owned business, the event enables former service members from any branch, at any rank, to compete for funding provided by a host of potential investors.

I was an entrepreneur for most of my life. I thrived on OPM (Other People's Money). However, with OPM comes oversight. Watch "Shark Tank" on TV and you'll get an idea of what it means. The entrepreneurs who present their grand ideas there are seeking a partner as well as an investor. A very reasonable attitude. It helps insure success. When the government hands out the seed capital for business it also comes with oversight. However, the overseers are bureaucrats, people singularly lacking in business acumen. I'd rather they reduce taxes on those who provide seed capital so that they have more to invest.
