Connecting Veteran-Owned Businesses with Corporate America
In April of 2024, NaVOBA launched a new quarterly, virtual networking series to maximize contracting opportunities with U.S. corporations committed to working with Veteran-Owned Businesses as suppliers. This new program, titled Marching Forward Mondays: Operation Matchmaker, is a sophisticated approach employing smart matchmaking technology with our partners at My Business Matches, the leading matchmaking platform for connecting businesses worldwide.
We're not wasting time where there’s no real opportunity
Certified Service-Disabled Veteran’s Business Enterprise® (SDVBE) and Veteran’s Business Enterprise® (VBE) suppliers will register for each event and share the goods and services they provide and the value they create for their customers. Purchasing decision-makers from NaVOBA’s Corporate Allies will register and detail the categories they are seeking qualified suppliers for, and meetings will be created when there is a match. The Operation Matchmaker events will take place every quarter on a Monday from 2:00-5:00 PM EST.
We're serious about creating opportunities to compete for business
“This exciting new format dramatically increases conversations between capable Veteran-Owned Suppliers and interested buyers. Everything we do is geared to helping Veterans compete for contracts with Corporate America and this program is going to make great strides in helping us achieve and measure that impact.”
-Matthew Pavelek, NaVOBA President
