Chantilly, VA, May 30, 2014 --(PR.com)-- WVEC, made possible with generous support from Capital One, is an exciting new business growth initiative for women veteran entrepreneurs currently at $50,000 to $150,000 in annual revenues and designed to help them grow their businesses quickly and sustainably to spur local economies and job growth in their communities.

WVEC aims to help women-owned businesses across the country grow to $250,000+ in revenue with support through the Count Me In Business Accelerator Program. That goal translates into $75 Million in new economic activity and 600-900 much-needed new jobs.

WVEC Awardees each receive a place in Count Me In’s renowned nine-month Business Accelerator program, which provides intensive business coaching and education designed to help participating businesses grow their revenues by at least 30% and create new jobs within 18-36 months. That program will commence for the Awardees in January 24, 2014 at the Capital One Conference Center. Awardees also receive a one-year legislative membership with Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP). A full list of the 2014 WVEC Awardees is available at www.countmein.org/WVEC2014Awardees.
