FeMil Lead℠ Sunsets and Merges with Vets 2.0℠: A New Era for Veteran Entrepreneurship

Building on Success: The Evolution of FeMil Lead℠

The FeMil Lead℠ program has played a crucial role in empowering military spouses and transitioning service members by providing them with the tools and resources to launch, grow, and sustain their businesses. Through innovative data-driven strategies, global domain traffic insights, and targeted mentorship, FeMil Lead℠ successfully helped entrepreneurs establish a strong digital presence, secure military base vending contracts, and expand their reach into civilian markets.

Local community events outside Army military installations further strengthened economic engagement by connecting military-affiliated business owners with the broader consumer and business network, increasing their opportunities for growth.

Now, after a proven track record of success, FeMil Lead℠ is sunsetting—but its impact is far from over. As part of a strategic move to expand resources and drive greater impact, FeMil Lead℠ is merging with Vets 2.0℠, an initiative led by Kevin D. Shoun.

The Power of Vets 2.0℠: Strengthening Veteran-Led Businesses

FeMil Lead℠ was launched as a two-month initiative aimed at supporting military spouses and transitioning service members in building and growing their businesses. During its brief but impactful run, the program provided valuable guidance in areas such as digital business strategy, entrepreneurship, and networking. By equipping participants with essential tools and knowledge, FeMil Lead℠ helped military-affiliated entrepreneurs establish a solid foundation for success.

One of the program’s key strengths was its ability to connect military entrepreneurs with the larger business community. Through local events near military bases, participants had opportunities to engage with potential customers, business partners, and mentors. These events helped bridge the gap between military-affiliated businesses and the broader market, fostering stronger economic engagement and business growth.

Although FeMil Lead℠ is now coming to a close, its mission is not ending. Instead, the program is merging with Vets 2.0℠, an initiative led by Kevin D. Shoun. This merger represents an opportunity to expand the reach and impact of the work started by FeMil Lead℠, ensuring that military entrepreneurs continue to receive guidance and support as they navigate their business journeys.

Vets 2.0℠ focuses on helping veteran entrepreneurs with career transition, business development, and digital strategies. By integrating the mentorship model and community engagement efforts pioneered by FeMil Lead℠, Vets 2.0℠ will provide a more comprehensive and long-term support system for military-affiliated business owners. This transition is designed to build upon the foundation established by FeMil Lead℠ while offering an even broader range of resources and opportunities.

Military entrepreneurs who were involved with FeMil Lead℠ can expect a smooth transition into Vets 2.0℠, where they will continue to have access to mentorship, networking opportunities, and business development strategies. The data-driven digital strategies that were a core part of FeMil Lead℠ will be further refined and expanded under Vets 2.0℠, helping businesses improve their online presence and market positioning. Additionally, the emphasis on local business engagement will continue, ensuring that military-affiliated entrepreneurs remain connected to their communities and customers.

The merger of FeMil Lead℠ with Vets 2.0℠ marks the beginning of a new chapter for military entrepreneurs. While FeMil Lead℠ was a short-term initiative, its impact will continue to grow as part of a larger, long-term effort to support and strengthen veteran-led businesses. By uniting the strengths of both programs, this transition will help ensure that military-affiliated entrepreneurs have the resources, guidance, and community connections they need to build and sustain successful businesses.
