About Us

It Started with a Simple Problem, and A Lot of Wasted Discounts

The Start

Between ID checks, awkward conversations, and apps that never worked when you needed them, far too many well-deserved discounts went unused.

 

Our founder — a veteran himself — realized that recognition shouldn’t be this complicated.

The Start
The Idea

He realized the problem wasn’t the discount — it was the process. What if the recognition simply happened on its own? No apps. No codes. No friction.

 

That question became the spark that started VeteranCrowd.

The Idea
The Technology

VeteranCrowd Rewards links military status directly to your Visa card, letting discounts apply instantly at checkout. No cashier verification — everything runs through the Visa network, and cash-back is sent to members in seconds.

The Tech
The Goal

Our mission is simple: build the nation’s largest, most trusted military-exclusive marketplace — one where every member gets effortless recognition, everywhere they shop.

The Goal
