Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Bunker Labs provides communities, programs, and courses that help military veterans and military spouses start and grow successful businesses.

  • Ambassador program-the Ambassador Program is a 12-month cohort experience for volunteer leaders who support Bunker Labs programs and impact within their local entrepreneurial ecosystems. The program is designed to empower volunteers to grow as community leaders while meaningfully impacting the lives of veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs. Ambassadors work directly to support their local Veterans in Residence, engage other ecosystem partners, and guide members of their local community to the necessary resources to launch and grow successful ventures. Throughout their cohort experience, Ambassadors attend in-person professional development sessions to gain and share skills and knowledge that support their leadership development and connect their local business ecosystem for the benefit of Bunker Labs entrepreneurs. The cohort of 90 Ambassadors that launched in 2021 came together for their next Fly-In convening on February 23-25 in Chicago. As part of the Bunker Labs Summit in Austin on June 8-10, the organization recognized the outgoing Ambassadors from the 2021-2022 cohort while also welcoming the incoming 2022-2023 Ambassadors cohort, which includes 90 volunteers serving 36 communities across the U.S. Later in the year, this cohort met for their second Fly-In, which the Bunker hosted in conjunction with the Military Influencer Conference (MIC) in Las Vegas from October 26-28. Between Fly-Ins, Ambassadors use the training and resources from these sessions to provide ongoing support to their local ViR cohorts, build relationships with relevant partner organizations, represent Bunker Labs at partner events, and host roundtables and networking events to grow the local Bunker Labs community. During 2022, Ambassadors hosted 31 Bunker Connect networking events, 59 ViR Showcase events, and countless other informal gatherings for Bunker Labs entrepreneurs. NB: 2022 Ambassador program revenue listed above includes $1,140,674 restricted for 2024 & 2025.

  • CEOcircle- CEOcircle is a monthly peer accountability group for growth-stage companies looking to scale. Over the course of nine virtual huddles and four in person Fly-In events, CEOs and executives can ask critical questions impacting their businesses today. Together, participants learn from peers and national experts alike how to take their companies to the next level. Additionally, CEOcircle members also gain access to dedicated liaisons and a 10-week advisor program powered by JPMorgan Chase.In November 2021, Bunker Labs launched the 2021-2022 cohort with 41 entrepreneurs participating. During 2022, this cohort gathered for their second Fly-In convening in Dallas, TX on March 13-14, and for their third Fly-In on June 7-8 as part of the Bunker Labs Summit in Austin, TX. In summer 2022, Bunker Labs opened applications for the 2022-2023 cohort of CEOcircle. 2022 entrepreneurs applied for the cohort (an 82% increase from the prior year), and the Bunker selected 80 to participate increasing the cohort size to meet this growing demand. The 2022-2023 cohort of CEOcircle also reflects the diversity of entrepreneurs in the Bunker Labs community 47% of participants are women and/or POC founders and 63% identify as service-disabled veterans. Bunker Labs hosted the last CEOcircle Fly-In event of 2022 on November 6-8 in New York City. The 2021-2022 cohort attended this event as the capstone to their 12-month experience, with the incoming cohort kicking off their year at this event allow both cohorts the opportunity to network with each other and build relevant connects other CEOs. This Fly-In featured a workshop on crafting and amplifying stories with the Armed Services Arts Partnership (ASAP), a fireside chat with Alex Gorsky (Exective Chairman, Johnson & Johnson), and sessions for the incoming cohort to get acquainted with the program format and meet in their groups for huddles, critical questions, and deep dives followed by industry breakout sessions.

  • Veterans in Residence (ViR)-Veterans in Residence (ViR)is a business incubator that provides veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs and business owners with coworking space, a local community, a national business network, and targeted support to grow their businesses. Delivered bi-annually nationwide (in-person and online), ViR follows a cohort-based impact model that fosters an entrepreneurial learning environment that acknowledges and celebrates participants shared ethos shaped by their military service experience. ViR programming consists of weekly huddles, monthly masterclasses, industry meetups, coordinated mentorship sessions, and a capstone Showcase event. Entrepreneurs in the program are paired with accountability partners (battle buddies), and program participation and completion is evaluated by progress made towards goal(s) set by the entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs set goals, encourage (self and peer) accountability and quick implementation of program module learnings. Technical assistance delivered throughout the program supports entrepreneurs in identifying (or refining) product-market fit allowing entrepreneurs to solve business challenges at a faster rate and increase opportunities for securing revenue, capital, and other business opportunities. During the first half of 2022, Bunker Labs served 216 entrepreneurs across 23 cities and 3 virtual cohorts as part of ViR cohort 22A. Between July and December, the program expanded to serve 305 entrepreneurs in 34 cities and 5 virtual cohorts as part of ViR cohort 22B. This growth reflects the continued increase in program applications in 2022, with 740 applications for 22A and 860 for 22B, a 43% increase in annual applications compared to 2021. The 2022 cohorts also reflect the diversity of the Bunker Labs community, with 52% of participants identifying as non-white.At the end of each cohort period, Bunker Labs brings together the outgoing and incoming ViR cohorts in each city for a Showcase event. The Bunker Labs Veterans in Residence Showcase is both a graduation and passing of the torch between the veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs of our outgoing and incoming cohorts. It's also a nationwide opportunity for local business leaders and key personnel to meet, celebrate, and support emerging entrepreneurs in their region. During 2022, the Bunker hosted a total of 59 Showcase events between cohorts 22A and 22B, with a total of 3,140 registered attendees.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
