    It's hard to believe that the #DAVPatriotBootCampFall24 has come to a close. We are excited to witness our patriotic founders succeeding as they utilize the knowledge gained this week on their entrepreneurial endeavors. On the final day of this boot camp, participants engaged in a live pitch competition where each participant was given 2 minutes to present their pitch and 2 minutes to address questions from a panel of judges. Three finalists were selected to compete in the upcoming DAV Patriot Pitch competition, which will be broadcasted virtually on our social media platforms in the coming weeks.

    As our patriotic founders continue to network and connect with each other at our DAV Patriot Boot Camp event this week, we are reminded of the valuable collaborations that take place during these events. Not only are participants sharing their past successes and lessons learned, but they are also forging connections that will benefit both themselves and the communities they serve as entrepreneurs. Tonight, our cohort will be attending a community networking event at DAV’s National Legislative Headquarters where they can continue to collaborate on ideas and strategies before returning for our final day tomorrow. #DAVPatriotBootCampFall24
