ABOUT
US
VEDI is unique because it provides a multi-prong approach that addresses the underserved entrepreneurial needs of Veteran Owned and Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses.
VEDI's a la carte service offerings through program partners including Top Flight LLC and Healthcare & Energy Solutions Inc encompasses the missing links for VOBs/SDVOBs - actual contract opportunities following completion of VA programs; advocacy supports on the federal, state and local levels for both private and public sector resources; strategic alliance opportunities and specialized training supports that are tied to existing assignments.
THE FACTS
-
Current veteran business programs provide a listing service with no guarantee of work or connections, general information that incorporates all business classifications and nebulous workshops that are most often inaccessible for the VOB/SDVOB owner who is the sole proprietor.
-
According to the U.S. Census Bureau over 80 percent of Veteran Owned Businesses are non-employer businesses, meaning there is one paid employee - the owner. VEDI's primary goal is to reduce that percentage and increase the "hire factor" among VOBs/SDVOBs.
-
VEDI's program partners represent corporate executives, Veteran entrepreneurs, minority and women entrepreneurs, development consultants, community advocates, government agency officials, veterans services advocates, health professionals and business trainers.
-
All VEDI program partners and organizational supporters have a vested interest in meeting the business development and expansion needs of VOBs/SDVOBs - simply, it is the right thing to do!
