🇺🇸 This Independence Day, The Veteran Fund is initiating the close of Fund I and we are honored to share a special message with you. 🇺🇸 248 years ago, our Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, risking their lives to protect our unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Many of these founders served in the military and made the ultimate sacrifice for their beliefs, anchoring a new era of service. Their actions demonstrate that a small group of people, fueled by their conviction to build a better world, can fundamentally change the course of human history. When we launched The Veteran Fund in 2022, we asked ourselves several questions: Has the world improved over the last several decades? Are people happier, healthier, more prosperous, and more free? Is America still the shining city on the hill? Our team believes that, in many ways, the world has improved. However, in this age of connectivity, there is unprecedented uncertainty. People are more disconnected than ever, misaligned on common values and purpose, with divisiveness at the forefront of many conversations. Further, our nation’s greatest adversaries think and plan decades ahead. We must do the same. Our intention with The Veteran Fund is to build a 100-year legacy institution to invest in the best leaders our country has to offer. We believe exceptional American leadership begins by empowering those who have graduated from the greatest leadership academy in the world, the United States Military. Combined with deep domain expertise and mindfulness practices, these veteran founders are uniquely positioned to build technology companies that will positively impact the world. We are uniting leaders from the military, business and mindfulness communities who share a deep sense of purpose and heartfelt conviction toward improving our country and the world for the benefit of all humanity. This Independence Day, we invite you to consider: What are you grateful for? What is your life’s purpose? What legacy are you building to improve the world? Our team is deeply grateful for every member of The Veteran Fund community who supports our mission. Our community of liberty-minded leaders, including our investors, founders, and partners, are helping us build a much brighter future. With our final close approaching, we ask you to join us. If our mission of advancing America through venture capital resonates, we’d be honored to welcome you alongside us. Happy Independence Day and God Bless America, - Mike, Justin, Lisa, and Ryan

Just over two years ago, The Veteran Fund was an idea... One year later, Four Star General McChrystal, one of our earliest supporters and investors, hosted us for a private dinner at his home. Special guests Congressman Dan Crenshaw and Robert Kiyosaki, Author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, joined us alongside a great group of investors that October evening when this photo was taken. Two years later, our tribe continues to grow around the flag we planted in the ground... "Advancing America through venture capital." More than a mission, it's a calling. This is what we MUST DO. The future of our nation depends on it. Join us: http://www.veteran.fund 🇺🇸

While this photo from our summit captures only a fraction of our community, we're grateful for everyone that has come alongside us on this journey. Great things ahead! 🚀🇺🇸
