Joe Musselman was spending his time in the military working with Navy SEALs and upon finishing his service, he started The Honor Foundation to help special operation forces who have left service to transition and find jobs in tech. Joe has supported over thousands of people with over 200 employee partners who have raised funding from people all over Silicon Valley including Marc Andreessen, and other organizations. Part of their vision is to grow their special operations community to 65,000 by 2020. Here are some surprising stats: -In 2013, only 13% of Navy Seals had jobs when they finished service and their average salary after leaving the service was $87,000. -In 2017, graduates that go through The Honor Foundation received a 97% placement rate with a salary of $130,000-$140,000+.
