Investment thesis
Vetted backs elite military veteran founders, believing their leadership, resilience, adaptability, and execution create exceptional entrepreneurial potential. The firm operates an integrated founder-development platform spanning an online entrepreneurship school (Alpha-Bet), a 10-week accelerator with experiences in Israel and Miami, and an early-stage fund. This model lets Vetted meet founders before traditional venture firms and invest with conviction rather than from a cold pitch. While many founders build in defense, national security, dual-use technology, autonomy, and public safety, Vetted remains sector agnostic, also supporting companies in AI, healthcare, enterprise software, fintech, and other emerging technologies. What matters most is the founder, not the sector.
