Think Veterans First is a Veteran centric organization that was approved for 501(c)(3) status on May 31, 2020. Our motto is: “Veterans Winning Together through Teamwork and Collaboration”. Think Veterans First advocates for veterans and veteran owned businesses by providing exposure to issues that impact the veteran community. We host a number of events each year to honor our veterans, those who have served and return home to serve others in their communities. These events include business Matchmaking events, Tech and Gaming nights, VET OHIO EXPO and more. Our gaming initiative and coffee outings have been designed to help veterans who suffer with loneliness, PTSD, and isolation.
By growing veteran businesses they could hire other veterans or hire other members in their communities which in turn will strengthen communities, and strengthen the overall economy. With more than 3 million businesses operated/owned by veterans nationwide, just think of what we could achieve if we took the teamwork and leadership skills that we learned from the field and stopped to help a fellow Veteran succeed in their business aspirations? It would be a pretty amazing feat to say the least! The Buy Vet initiative will accomplish three things:
• Create an all-inclusive, comprehensive “Vet List” i.e. Veteran business owners list where we can identify and find one another to offer support;
• Create a “Vet Net” i.e. Veterans Network where veterans will have opportunities to network, meet other veteran entrepreneurs, and share best practices for growth;
• Advocate for a shopper “Buy Veteran” week in conjunction with Veterans Day so shoppers can identify a Veteran Owned Business and shop during the Buy Vet week.
Think Veterans First is a national initiative By Veterans, For Veterans, and will use Veteran Owned Businesses to support this worth-while initiative. Look For the “Think Veterans First” logo to identify the veteran owned businesses in your community! This initiative has the potential to become an international organization as every country has veterans who have proudly served their countries. Supporting their small businesses is a way to thank them for their service. Our tagline is "connect, grow, thrive"
