RICE Veteran’s Business Battle – Houston Regional Veteran Chamber of Commerce Small Business EXPO

RICE Veteran’s Business Battle- Houston Regional Veteran Chamber of Commerce Small Business EXPO

The Veterans Business Battle began in 2015 with a goal of inspiring and encouraging our nation’s military heroes to become successful entrepreneurs. Each year, the two-day event gives military veterans an opportunity to pitch business ideas for a chance to raise capital from investors and lenders.
