The days leading up to the the day of the Military Business Market with Mission43 were a dream come true!

We had even MORE Veteran and Veteran Spouse Owned Businesses and orgs than we ever imagined, and the community really showed up to visit and experience each and every one!

Thank you to EVERYONE who made this event possible for Veterans in Idaho!

What a great morning of VETworking! ☕🇺🇸

There’s something pretty incredible about getting a room full of veterans, military spouses, entrepreneurs, and community supporters together over a cup of coffee.

The conversations, new connections, shared experiences, and willingness to help one another are exactly what VETworking is all about.

A huge thank you to our incredible partners at Mission43, Grand Canyon University, and Hire Heroes USA for helping us continue to create these opportunities for Idaho’s military-connected community. Your support makes mornings like this possible!

And to everyone who showed up today, THANK YOU! Whether you came to make a new connection, talk through a business challenge, share your experience, or simply enjoy some good company, you’re what makes this community special.

No pitches. No pressure. Just good coffee, great people, and real connections.

Haven’t joined us yet? We’re at Royal Coffee Co. in Meridian every third Thursday from 8–10 AM. Come see what you’ve been missing!

THIS SATURDAY. 70+ military-connected businesses. Five hours. One very good reason to clear your calendar.

The Military Business Market, hosted by Mission43 and Veteran Entrepreneur Alliance, takes over the Idaho Outdoor Fieldhouse from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. on October 17. Come for lunch. Start your holiday shopping early. Find something for yourself. Discover a local business. Meet a veteran, service member, or military spouse building something right here in Idaho.

Admission is free. Supporting military-connected businesses is easy when they make really good stuff. Come see for yourself.

What a great opportunity for Idaho Veteran Owned Businesses!
🪵🪚🪓🔨

I have a big ask for a great opportunity, not only for Locust Grove Woodcraft, but also for many other Idaho veteran-owned businesses.

We’ve been selected for the Idaho Dept of Commerce Governor's Trade Mission to Japan (Nov 18–20). A STEP grant covers part of the trip; we’re raising $7k by Oct 31 so we can fully participate and open doors for Idaho craftsmanship. Supporting levels start at $250. Any amount welcome via Venmo . Details in the attached flyer. Locust Grove Woodcraft is a Veteran-owned studio — portion of all sales supports VetSheds of Idaho (vetsheds.org).

Hey all you wonderful people.

We are still on the hunt for a few volunteers for the Military Business Market coming up this weekend.

The shift we would like to fill first is the 7:30am-10am shift on the Saturday the 17th. That is when we will have the most activity with everyone getting into final position and ready for the event to kick off.

If you or someone you know can come out and support please go check out the signup here: https://www.vealliance.org/volunteer/military-business-market
