The Veteran Women’s Enterprise Center is super proud that our Founder/CEO VR Small is supporting Dallas Startup Week 2021 as the Captain for their Inaugural Veteran Track with Co-Captain Adam Davis. This year’s Veteran Track line-up is on a mission to highlight and connect the DFW Veteran entrepreneur community. Don’t miss this opportunity to get connected #4BUSINESSRECOVERY!
Every year, Dallas Startup Week brings together entrepreneurs and change-makers for a week-long experience, described as the largest entrepreneurial event in North Texas, where they exchange ideas, collaborate, and grow alongside the 10th largest startup ecosystem in the US.
This year, Dallas Startup Week is going hybrid from August 1 to 5, offering both in-person events at the Southern Methodist University Cox School of Business and also live-streamed to the comfort of wherever you want to watch. All virtual DSW sessions, special events, and engagement opportunities will take place on Brushfire.
