Military spouse entrepreneurs don’t just overcome challenges — they create solutions, build businesses, and strengthen our economy.

We’re honored to see the Military Spouse Chamber of Commerce (MSCC) featured in CNBC ’s Startup coverage, helping bring national attention to the realities military spouse entrepreneurs face and the importance of creating policies, opportunities, and business support systems that reflect military life.
Military spouse business owners navigate frequent moves, career disruptions, changing markets, and unique barriers to growth — yet continue to innovate, lead, and launch successful businesses across industries.

We’re especially excited to see Karen Hetz, founder of Kids’ Cake Boxes and a member of The Rosie Network community, featured in the story.
Karen’s journey represents the resilience, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit that exists throughout the military spouse business community.

As MSCC continues advocating for recognition, access, and economic opportunity for military spouse-owned businesses, partnerships and organizations like The Rosie Network play an important role in supporting entrepreneurs as they turn ideas into sustainable businesses and lasting impact.

Thank you to CNBC for elevating this conversation and to The Rosie Network for supporting military-connected entrepreneurs every step of the journey.
Together, we continue building a future where military spouse entrepreneurs are recognized not for the barriers they face — but for the businesses they build.
