1. Fidelis

   About UsFidelis is a venture funded technology company backed by Accel Partners, Novak Biddle, OATV, and Kapor Capital. The company was established and funded in 2011 to solve a complex and persistent problem: the military to civilian career transition is harder than it should be. As of this writing, veteran unemployment stood at 20% for vets of Iraq and Afghanistan, underemployment for that group stood at 50% and approximately 75% of veterans who begin some kind of post secondary education don’t graduate. Fidelis was founded by a former military officer and our employees come from the ranks of the military so we understand the problem more acutely than most. We believe that the military does a phenomenal job of preparing its labor force for its needs, but that soldiers need to retool to succeed in a civilian industrial context. We need to learn to work in networks in addition to a chains of command. We need to build new skills. And we need to recast our talents towards new objectives.We think that the military turns out great raw material that has qualities that civilian industry needs: leadership, teamwork, grit, and decision making. But we need to reinvent ourselves for civilian industry.Mission"Fidelis provides an end-to-end education solution for the military-to-civilian career transition."Core BeliefsFocus on student objectives and all else will fall into place.Learning is fundamentally a social experience.Technology is not the sole solution to improving education, it's a means to an end.Design is crucial to human connection.Talent matters.
