Who is the Second Service Foundtion?

Launched in 2016 on Veteran’s Day, The Second Service Foundation (formerly StreetShares Foundation) set out to provide comprehensive resources for military community entrepreneurs.

We are cultivating the American Dream for military businesses. As a private foundation, we aim to inspire, educate, and support veterans, military spouses, and gold star families as they grow their enterprise. We provide coaching, resources and capital, as well as an innovative mentorship program to support entrepreneurs in scaling from startup to the stars.
