AMERICA'S MENTORING NETWORK FOR THE MILITARY

Before the Internet, we had Tribes. Tribes were how we survived: strong social bonds, knowledge-sharing, taking care of each other. The Internet has made us more “connected” than ever, but actually, our connections with each other have weakened. We’ve gone from my neighbor having my kids over for lunch when I’m out on errands to browsing what my neighbor’s making for dinner on Facebook feeds. We’ve gone from a village coming together to help a tribe member down-on-luck find a job through collective networks and advice, to one person, sitting at a computer, alone, sending out hundreds of job applications hoping one human being might respond. Our tribal bonds are weaker than ever.

Veterati is activating one of history’s most powerful tribes: the military, and the 94% of Americans who support our military, to solve the greatest crisis of opportunity for 1.5m Veterans and 5.5m military spouses today: finding the right job. When we approached this crisis, we didn’t think about it traditionally. Our big insight was that 80% of jobs come through the people who believe in you: your Tribe. So we asked a completely different question. “How do we connect Veterans to the people who believe in them? To the Tribe that will mentor, sponsor, and champion them to success after they come home from the battlefield?”

Veterati is the only digital platform that allows business professionals to directly connect with veterans and military spouses in a very personal and direct way. Many transitioning service members, Veterans and military spouses are looking for advice, guidance and answers to common questions related to employment, education and entrepreneurship. Veterati legitimizes the power of conversation and makes it easy and FREE for our heroes and the 100 million employed Americans who want to volunteer their time to talk and help them accelerate the path to career readiness, job leads and even real career opportunities.
