Why We Exist
Veterans return home with unmatched discipline, leadership, and drive—but many lack the resources to start over in civilian life. At Salute AI, we bridge that gap by providing targeted business support designed for those who served.
We believe that entrepreneurship offers more than just income—it offers identity, independence, and impact. That’s why we equip veterans with funding, education, mentorship, and community, helping them transition from service to CEO with confidence.
Who We Are
Salute AI is a Massachusetts-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping U.S. military veterans transition into entrepreneurship. We believe that the leadership, resilience, and discipline gained in service are exactly what the business world needs. We're here to bridge the gap between ambition and opportunity.
Built by Veterans. Backed by Community
We’re more than a nonprofit—we’re a movement of veterans, allies, and entrepreneurs working together to turn purpose into progress. Every connection, every donation, every step forward fuels a future where those who served can lead
