Connecting Round Rock: Advocates for Veterans – Bunker Labs
Bunker Labs – Austin Area
Describe the part of your mission focusing on veterans and the work.
Since 2014, Bunker Labs has served veterans and military spouses as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, providing the networks, tools, and resources they need to launch, grow, and scale their own businesses. A key to entrepreneurship and business ownership success is being in the right room with the right people at the right time. Bunker Labs has built the right room. Their core programs empower veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs and small business owners to network and connect throughout the year with their peers, learning and building together while supporting each other. We’ve also set the right time. Their Veteran Showcase Week is a bi-annual, weeklong series of local and virtual events featuring hundreds of entrepreneurs graduating from our Veterans in Residence program based in cities nationwide. America’s Business Mission ensures Bunker Labs can continue building the right room and get the right people in it when our Bunker Labs entrepreneurs and business owners are ready for it.
