Boston’s Business Accelerator
for Veterans and Gold Star Families

Our InnoVets® program is BOSTON’S first home-grown business accelerator for our military Veterans and Gold Star Family entrepreneurs. This program inspires and educates Veterans to establish their own businesses and ventures. InnoVets, in collaboration with our allies, provides dedicated resources and opportunities for them to establish and grow their own businesses.

A business mentor network, professional consulting services, and an educational curriculum focused on business fundamentals are available to Veterans and Gold Star Survivors. We feature networking events, speaking engagements and startup showcases. Members will receive support and mentorship from the MFH community and make close connections throughout the Greater Boston innovation community.

The InnoVets program, through Massachusetts Fallen Heroes, has created a new space, called the Emond Center for Engagement (ECE), to give Veteran and Gold Star entrepreneurs the opportunity to thrive in the heart of Boston’s innovation community. This space will help support and empower our entrepreneurs in many ways by providing them the tools needed to start and grow their potential businesses.
