Founded by a group of former US Army officers and MBA students in response to a declining job market during the Great Recession in 2009, the MBA Veterans Network is a professional networking and advocacy organization for military veteran students and alumni of the top-ranked MBA programs in the world. Its purpose is to connect its members with career opportunities at companies that value their military leadership abilities, exceptional work histories, and elite academic credentials.

This is achieved through a combination of annual career conferences and proprietary recruiting software. In addition, the MBA Veterans Network hosts an annual MBA Admissions and Transitions Summit and digital marketing program that connects transitioning military personnel and veterans with top-tier MBA programs, educates them about private sector career opportunities, and helps coach them through the recruiting process.
