Inspired by Founders First CEO, Kim Folsom’s brother, U.S. Navy veteran Stephen L. Tadlock, the $25,000 fund will make investments of $500 each to 50 veterans who are running employer-based small businesses across the country.
Deadline to apply is October 18, 2022. Grant finalists will be announced on Veterans Day, November 11, 2022.
All applicants will be asked to provide our judges with a short 1-3 minute pitch video with their application. Your pitch video does not need to be professionally produced and can be recorded using your cell phone.
