Online Business Networking

GruntWerx aims to go beyond business skills training and create a tight-knit community of veteran business owners.

Connect with other entrepreneurs during our seminars or reach out to the GruntWerx team to be paired with a business mentor. We’re also happy to facilitate online meet-ups for members of the GruntWerx community. Let us know how we can help you build a stronger support network.

Free Small Business Consulting Services

Want to know how your veteran-owned business stacks up against the competition? Request free business consulting from the experts at GruntWerx. If we believe your business is a good fit for our offerings, we’ll spend 15-20 hours over the course of a few months evaluating your business strategy and operations.

We’ll work with you to improve key business functions, such as:

  • Marketing
  • Social media
  • Data analysis
  • Strategy

At the end of our time together, we’ll provide key recommendations that will help you improve on the areas listed above and more.

Entrepreneurship = Your Ideal Career Path

Have you struggled to find meaningful employment after retiring from the military? You’re not alone. 

According to the National Survey of Military-Affiliated Entrepreneurs, 43% of veteran entrepreneurs struggled with the transition to civilian life. Entrepreneurship, however, helped them find a new purpose after the military.

Veterans have already developed many of the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, including discipline, leadership, and grit. So maybe, instead of sending out another job application hoping for the perfect career, it’s time to use your unique skillset to fill a need in your community.
