<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'll offer my help but not sure how useful it will be.  I've worked in capital markets over the years recently at an HFT/algorithmic trading firm, but always on the technology side.  In starting my own company and as interim-CTO for a couple other early stage companies, I've worked with angel and early stage venture capital investors but not AS one.  Have quite a few friends that are VC's or investors though.  Happy to offer any help I can.<br>

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes I am in the industry. I am an independent agent in the state of Colorado. I already do some work with veterans and very much want to get more involved in this community. I do insurance, investments, mortgages, small business planning. Basically anything that has to do with a number I can work with. I also work with veterans to help them get their benefits. Please contact me with details of how I can get involved.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes in the industry. Licensed in CO, NC, VA, IL, CA, MD, FL and USAREUR. 26 years helping active duty military with their finances. Glad to help.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This is very interesting. I've reached out to current and outgoing military personnel and I'll tell you, we are a tough bunch. We were very secure right up until that time to let it all go. At that point we realize there was so much more we needed to know. One thing I'm sure we've all heard over and over is "I wish I had started sooner". I feel obligated to share a little insight to anyone (especially our veterans) who will listen.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would be honored to help!  The transition period is tough; finances are one of those topics that ignorance is not bliss.  I all too often run into military that have not planned accordingly.  How may I help?  I agree with TSgt Thomas, starting sooner is paramount.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><p>I have been in the job for 7 months now and think its a great idea to talk on the phone.  I don't think of myself as a salesman more of an educator.  I have been giving advice to my old battle buddies sense day one why stop now.  if anyone is ever interested in asking some questions feel free to call me @ [login to see] I will always do what I can for my veteran brothers and sisters</p><p> </p><p>Mark</p>
