Founded in 2015, Warrior Rising is a non-profit started by Veterans, for Veterans. The Warrior Rising team has a singular goal of transform Veterans into “Vetrepreneurs.” Warrior Rising introduces veterans to complicated business concepts in a way they already understand — by applying those concepts to tactics learned throughout their military service. The veterans are given the tools, coaching, mentoring, and enhanced networking necessary to help them turn opportunities into success.
Since 2015, Warrior Rising has grown from a regional to a national organization with a robust outreach. Warrior Rising’s sophisticated programs, its network of mentors and coaches, and a generous grant program will result in creating 100 Veteran-Owned Million-dollar businesses by 2024. Riverside Casino and Golf Resort is proud to support and give back to Warrior Rising.
