About this Event
Join the VetsinTech Dallas Chapter for an engaging and candid conversation with veteran founders who have successfully transitioned from military service to building and scaling companies.
This panel will feature:
- Joe Beard – CEO, CollateralEdge
- Nick James – Founder, WhitegloveAi
- Nathan Shattuck – Founder & CEO, Kanosis
Moderated by Mike Wilkes, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Plug & Play, the discussion will explore the real journey of entrepreneurship — from the moment these founders decided to take the leap, to navigating risk, pivots, leadership challenges, and the unexpected realities of building a company.
Panelists will share:
- Their military-to-founder transition stories
- Lessons learned the hard way
- What skills translated (and what didn’t)
- How they approached financial and career risk
- Advice for veterans considering launching something in the next 1–2 years
The event will conclude with an interactive audience Q&A.
Whether you're an aspiring founder, an early-stage entrepreneur, or simply curious about veteran-led innovation, this conversation will offer practical insight, honest reflections, and meaningful connection.
