Recently, our team at VetsinTech (Katherine Webster, Ikram Mansori, and Johanna Tillman) held a successful and insightful roundtable in Washington, DC, focused on addressing the challenges faced by military spouses transitioning into the tech ecosystem and entrepreneurship. We brought together key stakeholders, including military spouses, policymakers, veterans, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit organizations, for an engaging discussion and a networking session. Our mission is to develop a policy whitepaper with the support of all key players and launch future programs dedicated to empowering military spouses. A special thank you to all the participants who contributed valuable insights and helped make this event successful!

Last week, VetsinTech had the pleasure of collaborating with the respected Veteran Transitions Research Lab at Duke University - The Fuqua School of Business, an organization dedicated to conducting and disseminating cutting-edge research that can improve outcomes for veterans during their transition to civilian life.

We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with such dedicated and knowledgeable professionals and would like to express our appreciation to everyone who attended the event, exploring ideas and supporting the veteran community.
