We’re proud to announce that Isaac Belden, the Founding Executive Director of the Veteran Entrepreneur Alliance, has been named one of Idaho Business Review’s 2025 CEOs of Influence! This honor isn’t just about leadership—it’s also about service, community, and action.
Isaac’s Inspiring Journey
Isaac’s journey from the military to entrepreneurship wasn’t straightforward. Like many veterans, he faced the chaotic and often overwhelming transition into post-military life. It was this struggle that inspired him to create the Veteran Entrepreneur Alliance (VEA), a community focused on supporting the men and women who choose this path.
Under his leadership, the Veteran Entrepreneur Alliance has become a significant force in Idaho. The organization provides veteran business owners and their families with resources, connections, and a robust support system. It’s not just about learning and networking; it’s about building legacies, strengthening communities, and proving that veterans don’t just survive in business—they thrive.
The Impact of the VEA
The Veteran Entrepreneur Alliance has significantly impacted the lives of veterans in the region. The resources and connections provided through VEA help veterans turn their dreams into successful businesses. Workshops, mentorship programs, and networking events allow veterans to learn from each other, share experiences, and grow as entrepreneurs.
The organization empowers those who served our country by offering a unique community tailored to their needs. It creates an environment where veterans feel understood, supported, and motivated to achieve their business goals.
Celebrating Leadership and Community
"I have had the privilege of knowing Isaac for several years, and his recognition as a CEO of Influence is well deserved. He is a cornerstone of the Idaho veteran entrepreneur community. For many veterans, starting a business can be overwhelming, with an overload of information and competing demands. The community he has built within the VEA is more than just a support organization; it is a family. The rapid growth of the VEA and its impact over the past year is a direct result of Isaac’s relentless dedication to serving others. I am honored to work under his leadership."
– Adrian Moreno, VEA Marketing Director
Isaac’s recognition as a CEO of Influence reflects his passion, leadership, and unwavering commitment to the veteran business community. His work demonstrates that with the right support, veterans can excel in business and contribute significantly to society.
The Future of the VEA
As the Veteran Entrepreneur Alliance continues to grow, the future looks bright. Isaac’s leadership is pivotal in driving this growth and ensuring that the VEA remains a vital part of the veteran community. His vision involves expanding services, reaching more veterans, and enhancing the support network even further.
The landscape for veteran entrepreneurship is evolving, and the VEA is at the forefront of this change. With a dedicated team and a passionate leader, the alliance is well-equipped to face the challenges ahead and continue uplifting veterans.
