Our Vision: Rebuild the backbone of American business. Our mission is to ensure all veterans, especially our junior enlisted and younger non-commissioned officers, achieve their optimum career outcomes after serving our nation.

The product we are building is a veteran community for career and transition in the form of a virtual multi-tenant community forum for veteran-facing organizations, like not-for-profit veteran serving organizations (VSO’s) and employers’ veteran hiring initiatives. On our platform, customers can engage more effectively with their veterans, scale operations, and, by joining the larger “community of communities", reach more veterans.

For veterans, we provide “career information sharing” as they navigate the communities. We think this will create a better experience for veterans, employers, and organizations that help with veteran employment and transition.
