Partner with VetVention
Help build a professional ecosystem around promising veteran-created innovation.
Veteran Innovation Requires More Than One Kind of Expertise
A strong invention may require intellectual property strategy, engineering judgment, prototype development, regulatory insight, market analysis, licensing expertise, manufacturing knowledge, business experience, capital, and industry access.
VetVention is building a curated network of professionals and organizations that can help selected veteran inventors navigate those needs with greater confidence and discipline.
Patent Attorneys and Patent Agents
VetVention intends to develop a professional legal network rather than rely on an informal list of volunteers.
Participating patent practitioners may be asked to work within defined scopes, quality expectations, communication standards, and structured pricing or pro bono arrangements established for particular VetVention programs.
Assignments are intended to consider technical fit, availability, program needs, and appropriate rotation within the network. VetVention is not being designed as an exclusive referral channel to a single law firm or practitioner.
Engineers, Scientists, and Technical Experts
Technical experts can help inventors pressure-test assumptions, identify development risks, refine prototypes, understand technical alternatives, and prepare a project for the next stage.
VetVention welcomes interest from professionals who can contribute practical, disciplined technical judgment without turning the program into an open-ended consulting engagement.
Entrepreneurs, Licensing Professionals, and Mentors
Inventors also need help thinking about customers, licensing targets, market entry, product economics, partnerships, and execution.
Experienced founders, executives, product leaders, licensing specialists, commercialization professionals, and veteran business mentors can play an important role in helping selected inventors connect intellectual property decisions with real commercial objectives.
Corporate and Industry Partners
Corporations can participate in the VetVention ecosystem through sponsorship, technical mentorship, subject-matter expertise, innovation challenges, pilot opportunities, commercialization pathways, and other carefully structured collaborations.
Our long-term objective is to create a credible pipeline through which industry can engage with veteran-created innovation while preserving appropriate confidentiality, professional standards, and inventor interests.
What We Expect from Partners
VetVention is being built around quality, transparency, responsiveness, and respect for the inventor.
Professional participation should be based on clearly defined expectations. Potential conflicts should be disclosed. Legal providers remain responsible for their own professional obligations and client relationships. Mentors and technical experts should understand the limits of their role. Financial relationships should be transparent.
The mission comes first.
Founding Partner Opportunities
