Bunker Labs Austin

Suman Poluri -

Bunker Labs empowers military veteran and spouse entrepreneurs by fostering a supportive community and providing access to critical resources.

In January 2024, Syracuse University’s D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) acquired Bunker Labs. Together, we are more dedicated than ever to our shared mission of helping veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs alike launch and grow their own businesses. Alongside IVMF, Bunker Labs has more resources than ever to support our community of entrepreneurs with targeted programming and courses that make following their dreams of owning a successful business just a little easier.

  • They offer a unique blend of programs and benefits, including:
    • Mentorship: Connect with experienced mentors who understand the challenges and opportunities faced by veteran founders.
    • Networking: Build valuable connections with other veteran founders, investors, and industry leaders.
    • Educational Programs: Participate in workshops and courses designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to launch and scale your business.
    • Workspace: Gain access to coworking space or office locations (depending on the chapter) to work alongside fellow entrepreneurs.
      Potential Funding: Bunker Labs doesn't directly invest in startups, but their network and connections can open doors to potential investors.
  • Veteran-Specific Focus: Notably, Bunker Labs caters specifically to military veterans and spouses, offering a tailored support system that understands their unique experiences and skill sets.
