About VETSTARTS INC

VETSTARTS INC is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides career-transition coaching, training, and peer-based programs for veterans and their family members. The organization’s programming centers on identity-and-purpose work, one-year coaching tracks, and practical career and entrepreneurship supports (often described internally as the “Halftime for Veterans” career and culture transition program).

The organization was recognized as tax-exempt in 2017 and is led by an executive director and a volunteer board. In recent years VETSTARTS has continued active program delivery and fundraising: fiscal-year filings show contributions and program activity across 2022–2024, with reported revenues and expenses consistent with a small, operating veteran-service charity that delivers coaching, workshops, and community-based offerings through local fundraising and platform campaigns.
