The United States Armed Forces are a revered people. We take immense pride in and afford a high place of honor to our brave soldiers who put their lives on the line for our safety and security.

This has been reflected in a lot of places and situations in society. Perhaps none more so than in the job market.

Last year, I discovered it was easier to launch a business in one of the most expensive and competitive cities in the world than it was to find a job.

My story is not unique. The ranks of veteran entrepreneurs, or vetrepreneurs, have grown to 2.4 million. Each year, we generate $1.22 trillion in sales receipts. Veterans are nearly twice as likely as civilians to start our own companies. We’re also twice as likely to succeed.
