We're grateful to share that @craignewmark (Craig Newmark Philanthropies) is making a significant investment in the future of VetsinTech. For 14 years, VetsinTech has supported veterans and military spouses through our 3Es: Education, Employment, and Entrepreneurship. As our chapters continue to grow nationwide, so does the demand for access to high-quality training in cybersecurity, AI, and emerging technologies. This support will help us scale our Cybersecurity programs and strengthen pathways into high-paying, in-demand careers, improving quality of life for veterans and their families across the country. Cybersecurity is a national priority. Veterans are uniquely equipped to lead in this space. Bridging the two is mission-aligned work. Thank you to Craig Newmark and his team for their trust and partnership. We look forward to building what comes next.

VetsinTech is launching its Vets in Space program on February 4 in Los Angeles, hosted at the historic Grand Central Air Terminal Museum, hosted by @Disney. This program is designed to help veterans and military spouses build pathways into the rapidly growing space technology sector - from launch and mission operations to satellite systems, communications, and space-adjacent innovation. The launch event brings together members of the military community and leaders from commercial space, national security, and the startup community to highlight the opportunities, pathways, and partnerships shaping veteran participation in the space economy. Date: February 4, 2026 Time: 4:00–7:00 PM PST Location: Grand Central Air Terminal Museum, 1310 Air Way, Glendale, CA Registration: zip2.it/vetsinspace Special thanks to sponsors @blueorigin and @WellsFargo

🎟️ What a night! This past Friday, we marked the 11th Annual VetsinTech Veterans Day Gala at the historic Marines’ Memorial Club in San Francisco — an unforgettable evening celebrating veterans, military spouses, and the partners who champion their success in tech. From meaningful conversations to an energetic afterparty, the night blended purpose and celebration in true VetsinTech fashion. 🎤 The program featured Chuck Todd, Sara Donchey, and George Ploss, who helped lead an inspiring evening filled with stories of service, impact, and opportunity. We also had the always-entertaining Franco Finn, hypeman for the Golden State Warriors, return to host the live auction - helping drive support for scholarships that help veterans and military spouses advance their education and careers in tech. 🏆We also honored Doug Beck, former Director, Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), for his strategic impact, as well as Adobe for Education, Apple for Employment, and J.P. Morgan for Entrepreneurship. 👏 As always, a special thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, donors, and guests, this year’s Gala. Your commitment continues to open doors for veterans and military spouses across the tech ecosystem. 📸 Check out photos from the evening: zip2.it/gala25

On this Veterans Day, we pause to honor the extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication of our nation's veterans and military spouses.

Through our focus on education, employment, and entrepreneurship, we're creating meaningful pathways for veterans and military spouses to build thriving careers in tech. None of this would be possible without our valued partners - @DraftKings, @Adobe Foundation, @jpmorgan, and @craignewmark Philanthropies. Their steadfast support empowers us to expand our reach and create tangible opportunities for the military community we're privileged to serve. We're grateful for their partnership and the profound impact it has on veterans and their families. To all who have served: Thank you. Your sacrifice matters. Happy Veterans Day

Earlier this week, VetsinTech relaunched our New York Chapter with a great evening of connection and community at Andreessen Horowitz’s NYC office. Veterans and military spouses from across the area came together to share experiences, talk tech, and network. Katherine Webster, VIT founder and CEO, kicked things off alongside special guest and board member Craig Newmark, whose support for veterans and our mission continues to open doors. A big thank you to everyone who joined us; it was great to see familiar faces, including chapter leaders Edward "Trey" Russell and  Garrett Deese, as well as many other new ones. We look forward to hosting more events in the city as we grow this community together.

Last week in Las Vegas, @VetsInTech hosted another successful VetCap event as part of Freedom Week, bringing together veteran and military spouse founders from across Nevada for an evening focused on funding strategies and meaningful connections. Held at the offices of @DraftKings, the event created space for conversations around startup financing, business growth, and support networks. The panel featured Michael DeLucca of Scared to Scale, Saul Ramos from the SBA Nevada District Office, Ryan Rubio of Zero Labs, Shaq Cruz of Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED), and Chris Kearns of First Command Financial Services, Inc.. Each speaker brought a unique perspective - ranging from government-backed resources to venture readiness and financial planning - offering practical takeaways for founders navigating the capital landscape. We were honored to receive a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition from Congresswoman Susie Lee, acknowledging our ongoing commitment to supporting veterans and military spouses in entrepreneurship, education, and employment. Special thanks to @DraftKings, and especially Jared Hess and Katy Spriano, for hosting and championing this community. Deep appreciation to our local chapter leaders Dave Burlin and Jason LeDuc, for leading Freedom Week with vision and heart. And a special shoutout to Angelica Villarta for your continued support and efforts. You are a true force.
