About Veteran Search Network

Our Mission

Mission Statement

At the heart of our mission are the recorded tri-weekly educational Veteran Search Network Roundtables, where veterans gather to learn, engage, and grow in understanding key concepts of Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA). Each roundtable features a focused theme addressed by guest speakers with knowledge in various aspects of business acquisition and entrepreneurship. After each roundtable session, community members receive a newsletter featuring additional resources to build upon and prepare for future roundtable sessions.

Furthermore, we provide tailored resources specifically curated to enhance learning. This includes a rich library of learning materials, expert insights, and practical tools, all designed to streamline and support the process of acquiring and managing a business.

Beyond these educational cornerstones, Veteran Search Network offers unparalleled access to a robust veteran community. This is a space for networking, sharing experiences, and building lasting relationships with fellow veterans who are navigating similar paths.

Gabrielle Fung is a co-founder of Veteran Search Network, a nonprofit that began as Veteran ETA. She built her leadership style as a U.S. Naval Officer, where high-stakes work taught her how to lead under pressure and bring teams together around a shared mission. Since then she has done her best work in fast-paced settings, working with teams from across an organization. She is driven by a belief that people do their best when they’re able to bring their whole selves to work.
