Selected For Veteran Entrepreneurship Program

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Legend Acres Kristi Kay May was selected to attend Florida State University’s (FSU) latest Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veteran’s Program (EBV), EBV Accelerate. The program serves as a platform to improve Veteran-Owned businesses and help existing entrepreneurs grow their companies.

Presented by the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship, and the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University (IVMF), the EBV Accelerate program is the result of a 10-year partnership between the two organizations. As veteran business owners move from leading start-ups to growing companies, they face a whole new set of challenges for which the EBV Accelerate program will prepare them. The program is designed to take advantage of the skills, resources and infrastructure of higher education to offer cutting-edge, experiential training in entrepreneurship and small business management. EBV Accelerate gives veterans with a successful business the tools and proper coaching to propel their business to the next phase: sustainable growth.

Legend Acres Kristi Kay May was selected to attend the program because they have proven to be dedicated entrepreneurs and have earned the opportunity to further expand their knowledge in their respective industry.

“It was an amazing week of learning and networking that was beyond what I could have imagined in preparing for this event.  The information and business planning that was presented was outstanding and translated perfectly into the activities conducted and into a strategic plan to implement upon returning home to improve business processes and promote business growth”  said Kristi Kay May Owner of Legend Acres.

“We’ve graduated more than 280 veterans from the original EBV and EBV Families programs at FSU,” said Dr. Randy Blass, Executive Director of the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship. “Their feedback prompted us to create EBV Accelerate in order to offer more advanced curriculum to veteran business owners throughout the country.”

In order for candidates to qualify for the EBV Accelerate program, small businesses must have 50% or more ownership maintained by a military veteran, and that veteran must have served active duty with honorable discharge or general discharge under honorable conditions. Graduates of other IVMF programs are also eligible.   

EBV Accelerate is offered to veterans at no cost thanks to the recent legacy gift and continued support of Jan Moran and the Jim Moran Foundation, as well as the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University.
