Helping Veterans Get Into Business
About us
VETERAN BUSINESS PROJECT is a registered 501c3 co-founded by Lynn Lowder and Dale Eisenberg. Lynn is a Vietnam veteran (1st Force Recon Marine Team Leader) who has a unique perspective on what drives veterans and their need to be the captain of their own ship. Dale has spent the past 46 years as a franchisee of The Original Pancake House and developing other restaurant concepts. VETERAN BUSINESS PROJECT™️ “Getting Veterans into Business” is basically centered around matchmaking. Similar to the model of “eharmony©”... our “ vharmony™️” team connects and serves Veterans wanting to purchase a business with existing business owners wanting to sell. In many cases, it’s better for a veteran to take over an existing, profitable business wanting to sell, as opposed to a start-up. Hope is at the heart of what VBP is all about. Every completed deal that is on the news or goes to print, offers that hope, not just for a veteran who may be at risk, but for their families as well. The sad reality that sometimes occurs, is when that last flicker of hope goes out, the world becomes a dark place and all too often, in an effort to stop their pain, veterans can take their own lives, tragically leaving a wake of heartbroken families and friends behind. This is unacceptable and something VBP believes we're able to help prevent.
