Yeego Connect LLC

What Yeego Connect LLC does

Yeego Connect LLC is a privately held, 100% Native American-owned consulting and travel firm headquartered in Washington, DC, founded in 2015 by Jared King, a citizen of the Navajo Nation from Naschitti, New Mexico. The company was originally incorporated as Yeego Travel Meetings and Events LLC and rebranded in mid-2020 to Yeego Connect LLC to broaden its scope beyond travel. It now operates four primary service lines: Travel Services (a full-service travel agency booking hotels, air, car, cruises, vacations, and tours), Consulting (communications and public relations), Planning (strategic planning and fundraising development), and Public Affairs (media relations, equity-focused ad campaigns, corporate social responsibility, and social media engagement), plus Meetings and Events planning.

The company's core offering is service-based rather than technology-based: there is no proprietary software, app, or API disclosed, and the website is built on Drupal with a brand identity formalized in 2021. Delivery relies on a distributed team located across Washington DC, the Navajo Nation, Albuquerque, Tampa, and New York City, combining over 25 years of collective experience in communications, public relations, government affairs, nonprofit management, and business development.

The business model is hybrid: travel revenue is generated through hotel and venue commissions with no client-facing fees, while consulting, planning, and public-affairs work is billed as professional services. The go-to-market is direct, sales-led, and community-led, targeting tribal nations and nonprofit organizations as primary segments with grants (federal, state, and private) as a funding channel, and serving individual travelers and small businesses as secondary segments. The firm is a member of the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) and markets through its own website, blog, Instagram, Twitter, and earned media.
