What is MFM?

NaVOBA’s Marching Forward Mondays (MFM) series began in 2020 to connect veteran-owned businesses with new opportunities through virtual events. Since then, the program has grown to foster more impactful conversations and pathways for veteran entrepreneurs.


This month, NaVOBA proudly presents a special edition of Operation Matchmaker — a Veterans-to-Veterans business matchmaking event exclusively for Certified VBEs®. This unique session is designed to help VBEs® build relationships and explore opportunities directly with fellow Certified VBE® suppliers.

Who's Invited?

NaVOBA’s special edition of MFM Operation Matchmaker is exclusively for:


Certified Veteran’s Business Enterprises® (VBEs®)


Certified Service-Disabled Veteran’s Business Enterprises® (SDVBEs®)


This session is designed for VBEs® to connect and explore opportunities directly with fellow Certified VBE® suppliers.

What is VBE®?

A Certified Veteran’s Business Enterprise® (VBE®) is a business certified by the National Veteran-Owned Business Association (NaVOBA) as being at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by U.S. military veterans. 


NaVOBA’s VBE® and SDVBE® ( Veteran's Business Enterprise and Service Disabled Veteran's Business Enterprise®) certifications represent the gold standard for veteran-owned businesses, enabling corporate America to confidently identify and work with verified veteran-owned enterprises®.
