Advice for Online Business Serving Military Families?

Maj Private RallyPoint Member — Wed, 15 Jan 2014 22:38:04 -0500

All,
My wife and I have started a new online business to both employ and serve military families We don't have experience in web development/design. What we do have is a passion for our brothers, sisters, and their families, and would appreciate any advice/connections we could get on the following:
- Military/Vet owned web hosts
- Mil//Vet web designers
- Mil/Vet small business owners

Thanks all,
Chuck

Sir,

Have you checked the RP search engine for IT personnel either active or veteran, that would probably be a good place to start.

Good luck and thank you for your help to SMs and veterans.

I would check online and if you are interested our nonprofit has a long list of veteran help links including education, referral, etc. We have been providing free computers, software, and educational classes for certification for about 4 years in San Diego County and for a year in MN. I have found that the grass roots organizations are the ones that will provide the most support. All veteran owned companies can find grant opportunities and most large corp will and do provide grants. We have received grants from Wells Fargo and Lockheed Martin to name a few and trust me when I say that I am not a grant writer. If I can be of assistance let me know
Mike
