Our mission is to become America’s largest private-sector creator of new veteran and service disabled veteran small businesses, and new veteran jobs.
VBI had developed a process to create 10,000 new veteran owned businesses, and 20,000 new veteran jobs every year – year after year.
Veterans returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) face an unemployment rate 30% higher than the US national average.
VBI’s objective is to affirmatively change the balance in favor of our veterans through mass-scale small business ownership and job creation.

CONGRESSMAN JEFF FORTENBERRY INTRODUCES LANDMARK GI BILL: THE VET ACT OF 2011
On October 13, Congressman Jeff Fortenberry (NE-1) introduced the Veterans Entrepreneurial Transition (VET) Act of 2011, a landmark new GI Bill that would allow veterans to use their already budgeted educational benefits earned under existing the Montgomery or Post-9/11 GI Bills, to start up new small businesses.
Originally authored by Andy Gibbs, Chairman and CEO of Veterans Business Institute, the VET Act (H.R. 3167) is a GI Bill aimed at addressing the unacceptably high veteran unemployment rate, as well as to help quickly re-build a new generation of veteran-owned small business enterprises across America as the backbone of new job creation.
Our leaders are battle-tested veterans and corporate executives.
We understand veterans' issues and challenges. We’ve been there.
As business founders and executives – from start up to Fortune 500 companies, we know business, too.
Now we're leading our veteran business owners to high ground advantage on the small business battlefield.
