A New Approach to Entrepreneurship development
Darkhorse Benefit’s SOF Entrepreneurship Program is a four-phase training progression that culminates in launching a successful small business at the desired geographic location of the Tier-1 Operator as they transition from military service into civilian life. The phases are designed to train, develop, capitalize, and assist in launching a US-based small business.
When pieced together, there are multiple assistance programs available to Veterans that could give an Operator an idea of starting a business. SOF-EP provides transitioning veterans with a full spectrum “education through opening” program that reduces the risk of failure that could negatively impact the operator, such as marital/family strain, bankruptcy, financial impact, or years of unrecoverable lost opportunity.
