About us
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.

Dear Veterati Community and Newcomers, 🙏 It has been a while, I cannot fully express the immense gratitude for the great support and active engagement of everyone over the past decade. Reverberating "Thank You" to all of you for the love over the years. 🧭 Current Status: Veterati has wound down its business operation due to reaching its bootstrapped, startup foundation limitations-capital challenges, tech debt, burnout, and others. Comment if an after action series is interesting to you; See podcast interview with a few lessons learned👇 🤝 Looking for a mentor right now? Consider the several hundred mentors across LinkedIn that continue to offer to be of service by listing "Veterati mentor" as a volunteer experience. Simply search bar "Veterati" and scan experience field or employee. As a mentee or mentor, I recommend you leverage the powerful LinkedIn tools available and connect directly with them to coordinate and continue the conversation on your communications platform of choice. 🙌 Veterati celebrates truly UNIQUE and INNOVATIVE solutions for transformative change that may emerge to empower the military community in today's environment and beyond. 🌎 As Humanity stands on the frontier of unprecedented technological acceleration, the challenges the military community faces today are different from in 2015 when we designed Veterati. 🌐 It will take all of the military community's collective capabilities, skills, and imagination to address the unique need of the present moment and the decade ahead given the enormity of change and transformation ongoing across all aspects of life globally. Wishing you and your loved ones well on all fronts. Peace, Daniel https://lnkd.in/gDdSYDhP

Well said Gerardo Santiago, MFA✨Thank you for sharing the positive note and having been a mentor with Veterati 🎶👏🏼

One of my mentees from Veterati in 2023 recently reached out to thank me for the advice I gave him as he transitioned from the US Navy back to civilian life. What resonated with him was the idea that: “Someone is there to guide me in the right direction... not to be on the end goal, but the first few steps which are the hardest.” This led me to think about how mentors are like music conductors who guide the orchestra or ensemble during a performance. While the music sheets are provided to the musicians, someone must ensure that the group plays in harmony. Then gradually, let them play with precision. In any industry, mentorship is more about being present to someone rather than about knowing all the answers. Of course, imparting something to them. Listen when someone feels stuck. Sharing your story will help them feel less alone. I am very grateful to those who have supported me along the way, and I have made a conscious effort to do the same for others over the past few years, maybe as a way of giving back. Everyone doesn't have to figure it out alone. Through support, guidance, and connection, we strive. To all the mentors out there: Thank you! To the mentees: Never give up! And for those who are in between: You're doing better than you realize. Let's continue to encourage one another. To all my mentees here on LinkedIn, how are you doing now? I would love to reconnect and hear from you! Manny, Elizabeth, Robert, Troy, Jeffery, Mark, Jewlyn, Dominic, Terence, Justin, Jamila, and Gaskin.
