This is a beta version of our system, developed as an interim solution in response to Veterati's unexpected closure. We appreciate your understanding that this version does not fully represent the capabilities of our upcoming system, which we anticipate will be completed in the first quarter of 2025.

Former Marine Daniel Rau messages entrepreneur Diana Tsai via Linkedin. They talk about the career challenges faced by service members coming home. They launch a 2-week project to work together via Skype calls to mentor 6 of their friends and former Marines into meaningful careers. In the process, they learn that transitioning is not just a challenge for their friends, but also for 1.5 million veterans coming home after 9/11. Daniel & Diana realize they need backup to solve such a massive challenge.
With a team of friends and trusted advisors, they begin exploring the core problems of the transition process, seeking causal reasons for why many Veterans face challenges in finding jobs after leaving the military. They speak with thought leaders in recruiting, workforce development, and even match-making. They listen to Veteran Service Organizations and the stories of hundreds of transitioning Veterans. They realize the big problem is in the job market: more than 80% of job opportunities are never published, and exist within personal networks. The team begins to envision a solution: a platform that effortlessly creates mentorship conversations between Veterans and successful professionals.
While catching-up with successful tech entrepreneur and long-time friend Thy Tang, Diana & Daniel mention the platform they’ve resolved on building. Thy says, “You guys forgot: I was a Marine. I’ve always wanted an opportunity to help my brothers and sisters.” Thy joins as CTO and brings in his team of engineers, and product build begins!
