Advancing America
Through Venture Capital

Investing in critical technologies to safeguard our nation's future

The Veteran Fund is a next-gen venture capital firm that invests in high-growth technology startups led by exceptional founders from the military community. We believe that veteran leaders are uniquely positioned to build enduring critical technology companies.

Investment Thesis

Veteran Leadership

We focus on high-growth companies with a strong military presence, either through leadership or workforce, to leverage their unique skill sets and experiences.

Dual-Use

We identify opportunities that have both a government and commercial application to maximize impact, leverage non-dilutive capital, and generate long-term value.

Critical Technologies

We align investments with broader national priorities, targeting innovative critical technology solutions that have clear applications for America’s interests.

OUR STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE

  • The Veteran Fund has assembled a community of the world’s top military, business, and mindfulness leaders, ranging from General McChrystal to Deepak Chopra, to support overlooked and underfunded veteran startup founders. We provide hands-on support with growth, securing non-dilutive funding, and ushering our portfolio companies into future financing rounds.

  • We maximize returns for our investors by funding the greatest founders in America and uniting our network of industry leaders to stand alongside them throughout their startup journey.

  • We invest in strong, virtuous leaders building technology companies solving America's greatest challenges. Veterans possess our shared core values of leadership, resilience, and purpose that are necessary to build the best technology companies that drive American innovation.
