EE’s primary mission is to provide opportunity that fits the emotional makeup of many of the 250,000 unemployed vets between 25 and 44 years.
Veteran Entrepreneurs
After World War II, forty-nine percent of veterans went on to start and own their own businesses, according to the Kauffman Foundation. Today, twenty-five percent of Post-9/11 veterans dream of starting and owning their own business, yet only six percent will. 200,000 active duty military will come off duty this year and for the next five years. Based on statistics only six percent will fulfill their dream.

Veteran Business Incubator
Enabled Enterprises plans to develop its version of “Shark Tank” as a veteran’s business incubator, to be called The InVETSment Corps. Veterans will submit their business plans, ideas or inventions for review by a panel.
This concept is similar to the popular television series, Shark Tank. However, unlike the show, EE’s InVETSment Corps will help participating vets with constructive business advice, mentoring and support. The dream is to have investor panels across the country. Enabled Enterprises may develop this concept into a reality television series. The project has received significant interest from major cable networks.

A counselor with military experience will be available as part of the conference calls.
Fill Emotional Needs
The original veterans that founded EE were enlisted Marines who served in Iraq. These veterans are not of the make-up of 9 to 5 employees. Many are also suffering from the effects of their military service. To support these veterans EE is creating opportunities that fit their emotional needs. While powerful and capable, many veterans, due to their emotional makeup and service related injuries, may have difficult times functioning in certain daily tasks. EE thus has created self employment opportunities to work on their good days and take off without guilt on their difficult days.
Military Outreach USA
EE works closely with Military Outreach USA, an all faith based 501(c)(3) organization serving the military community Active Duty, Guard, Reserve and Veterans of all eras and their families to cope with the visible and invisible wounds associated with military service. The organization works with religious organizations of all faiths to train them to deal with the issues of our veterans and provide needed spiritual support.
