Join us on May 11th for Vetted's final showcase for our 5th Accelerator Cohort. This event is in partnership with the Cherry Seed Program and powered by Sidley Austin and the LAB Miami.
This is not your standard startup pitch day. Vetted exists to back the most resilient, mission-driven founders on the planet: elite combat veterans. We believe the operators who have survived and led through the highest-stakes environments on earth possess an unparalleled, unfair advantage in building deep-tech companies and solving complex problems.
In partnership with the Cherry Seed program, we are bringing 20 top-notch, combat veteran-led companies to Miami. Cherry Seed is the official entrepreneurship program of the IDF's elite Duvdevan counter-terrorism unit, run in collaboration with Reichman University's School of Entrepreneurship.
After completing our 10-week accelerator, these founders are ready to take the stage. They will be presenting cutting-edge, venture-ready solutions spanning Defense Tech, Fin-Tech, Health-Tech, and more.
The Room: This will be a unique convergence of talent and capital. The room will feature top-tier VCs, hedge fund managers, defense-focused family offices, and senior military/government advisors.
There is no other room in the country where you will see this concentration of battle-tested leadership pitching highly vetted, mission-driven technology before it hits the broader venture market.
This is a private event. Space is strictly limited. Please RSVP to request your spot. Approved guests will receive a calendar hold and full details.
