Heropreneurs empowers the military community to build thriving businesses. We help Service leavers, veterans, reservists, and military families with tailored guidance, expert mentors, resources, and workshops, supporting every stage from idea to launch as part of the Forces Employment Charity.
For over a decade, Heropreneurs has seen strong entrepreneurial spirit in the Armed Forces community. Many want to start businesses but need more commercial skills or networks. Our growing programme bridges this gap with expert mentoring, workshops, events, and resources.
The Heropreneurs Awards celebrate exceptional achievements within the Armed Forces business community. Winners and finalists gain public recognition, expanded networks, and increased visibility for their ventures, opening doors to new opportunities. Launched in 2018, the awards recognise success across all types of organisations, from start-ups and social enterprises to global companies with strong veteran connections.
Each year, the awards bring together founders and leaders from across industries, highlighting the talent and professionalism of veterans and their families.
