Less than 2% of individuals in the US choose to serve in the military, and it's an experience that only those who have lived it truly understand. The value of military service is immeasurable and difficult to articulate unless you've walked that path. We know this firsthand.
One of the most profound outcomes of our military journey is understanding how powerful good military leadership can be (trust us - there is also bad leadership!). The investment the military makes in developing leaders exceeds that of most corporations. What sets it apart is the practical application of this leadership training, an aspect unmatched in the civilian world. No one invests more in developing leaders than the U.S. taxpayer. Often, this investment goes to waste.
At the heart of our mission is the desire to channel our experience and skills into launching and expanding small businesses once we leave the military. It's a way for us to continue our service to the country in a new capacity as small business leaders. But, just like in the military, we understand that achieving success requires support. Specifically, we need capital and investors.
The unfortunate reality is that many traditional funding sources and investors may not fully appreciate the potential within veteran-led small businesses simply because they do not have a basis for valuing military service since they haven't experienced it themselves. However, we do. We recognize the resilience, determination, and unique perspective that veterans bring unique value to the table.
