Veteran Onboarding Information and Agreement
Thank you for contacting Warrior Rising to assist you.
Based on available resources at any given time, Warrior Rising strives to accept and assist veterans at any point
in the process of starting or accelerating their own business, whether it is only a concept or if they have
actual operations.
Please take note: If you are considering forming a non-profit, be aware that while we will offer assistance in
the nature of training and mentoring, there are limitations placed on providing financial assistance in order
to avoid conflicts or other concerns with donors having funds directed towards another non-profit.
Vet Applicant Instructions
Please complete all information in the application and ensure that it is accurate. If you omit information,
in particular, telephone number, or if the email address is incorrect, it will prevent us from providing services

In particular, if you email us using a mobile phone or tablet, please be sure to include your email address
in the body of the message
since your email address will not otherwise be displayed.
Please ensure that you check your inbox and your spam and trash folders for our emails.
Please be aware that, although we do not generally provide consultation for individual plans, we may from time to
time request your business plan or other information for review in order for us to assist you.
Our staff and volunteers will maintain as confidential all business information you provide.
Please note that, because of the number of applications and applicants, we do not execute confidentiality
agreements with applicants.
Please do not just cut and paste information into a template online for the sake of submitting information
since that will not help advance the process and will likely stall it.
We do not provide startup or launch grants based merely on your application.
