Our story
Built by a veteran. For veterans.
I, Veteran was founded on a simple belief: the discipline, leadership, and grit forged in military service are exactly what civilian life needs — and exactly what every veteran deserves to be proud of.
The transition is real.
Leaving the service is one of the most disorienting experiences a person can face. The structure disappears. The shared mission disappears. The brothers and sisters who knew you best are suddenly scattered across the country.
Many veterans find themselves under-employed, isolated, or unsure how the skills they spent years mastering translate to the civilian world. They don't.
But the skills do translate. The leadership translates. The discipline translates. The ability to perform under pressure, to take care of the person on your left and your right — all of it translates.
Our mission.
I, Veteran exists to help service members and veterans:
- Gain good, meaningful employment that respects their experience.
- Rebuild self-confidence after the uniform comes off.
- Be proud — again, and out loud — of who they are and what they did.
The founder.
I, Veteran was founded by a United States Marine Corps veteran who walked the same road every transitioning service member walks — and decided that no one should have to walk it alone.
