What 7 Eagle Group does

7 Eagle Group is a privately-held U.S. Veteran Success Organization founded in 2014/2015 by Jordie Kern and headquartered in Amherst, with 11-50 employees. The company operates a multi-product platform that connects military veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses with career opportunities at military-friendly employers. Core products include 7 Eagle Academy (a DoD SkillBridge career development program combining Foundations training, weekly executive introductions from 20+ military-friendly companies, and on-the-job training pathways to permanent roles), 7 Eagle Connect (a curated talent network offering employers 30-second video introductions and resume access), a job board, and a mentor program.

The business model combines subscription revenue from employer sponsorships ($1,000/month covering enrollment costs for 10 veterans in 7 Eagle Academy) with placement-style engagement on the DoD SkillBridge channel, which supplies pre-screened transitioning service members at zero candidate acquisition cost. Go-to-market is dual-sided and community-led: live Zoom orientations run multiple times weekly, monthly sessions draw 1,000+ veterans, and a 200+ mentor network from Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM, Cisco, and Walmart supports employer branding and veteran coaching. The company also operates the 7 Eagle Academy Rewind video podcast on YouTube as a mid-funnel brand asset.

Over the past decade, 7 Eagle Group reports placing 1,100+ veterans at named employers spanning technology, defense/intelligence, sports, automotive, and consumer products. Leadership has been formalized around Founder Jordie Kern, with a CEO (Tyler Grant), Chief People Officer, Chief Growth Officer, Chief Technology Officer, and Chief Marketing Officer. There is no disclosed external institutional investment or revenue figure.
