When 51 Vets started in 2019, it was a small club of people doing virtual fireside chats, email intros between vets and industry professionals, and trading messages on Slack. Five years later, we have... - over 450 members nationwide - hundreds of industry professionals volunteering from investment banking, private equity, private credit, consulting, and more - hosted multiple city summits and local chapter events nationwide - and this week, 140 people attended our second annual benefit dinner Here are some WINS - 10+ members at Alpine portfolio companies - 10+ members at BofA - Members acquiring their first businesses - Member joining Blackrock as a private credit associate - Member joining Jefferies IBD, who also got a offer from William Blair which we introduced - Member interning in BD role at PE firm, which gave him experience to get a full-time role at another firm The list goes on. After 8 years of working with transitioning veterans, the coolest part is seeing people from 3, 4, 8 years ago who continue to support the organization and crush it in their own careers. 51 VETS CHANGES LIVES The secret sauce is simple: community + connections + action Huge thank you to all our incredible sponsors, donors, volunteers, staff, and members. None of this would be possible without you. P.S. $125,000 raised at the dinner
