As a Salesforce partner, The Fury Group is a committed
participant in Salesforce’s 1-1-1 Model of Integrated Philanthropy
in which we donate one percent of profits, services, and time to
deserving nonprofits. In this issue, we are spotlighting our work
for the Veterans Business Battle (vetbizbattle.com), a partnership
between the Houston chapter of Entrepreneurs’ Organization and
Rice University’s VIBA (Rice Veterans in Business Association).
Veterans Business Battle gives veterans an opportunity to
pitch their business concept before a panel of investors—in the
vein of ABC’s hit show Shark Tank—and awards capital to the
most deserving ideas. A major draw for entrepreneurial-minded
veterans, the competition attracts over 100 submissions each
year. Finalists have the opportunity to attend workshops geared
toward businesses in the early stages of development, network
with other entrepreneurs and consultants, and get feedback
and advice on their sales pitches. To date, the Veterans Business
Battle has raised more than $2.3 million in investment offers and
is currently the largest veterans’ business competition in the
country.
The Fury Group has supported Veterans Business Battle by
developing, implementing, and maintaining Salesforce to help
administer the event’s registration and applicant-tracking process.
“It was very fulfilling for us to help this veterans organization by
replacing their outmoded spreadsheets with modern technology
that will make them much more efficient,” said Paul K. Fury, founder
and CEO of The Fury Group. “It’s a great organization that we’re
proud to support.”
