Featured: Andrea Sloan, Groundbreakers Hydrovac
Andrea's business is experiencing rapid growth, demonstrating how veteran-led companies are transforming traditional construction through innovative approaches and technology. Her journey from military service to leading a thriving hydrovac and excavation company exemplifies the leadership, systems thinking, and execution capabilities veterans bring to the construction sector.
Meet the Construction Cohort:
This inaugural cohort represents the future of veteran entrepreneurship in construction:
- Camilo Renteria - BRAVO Companies
- Tyler Green - Visual Construction Services
- Jawaan Wolfe - Wolfpack
- Joel Storm - Storm Contracting
These founders are leveraging their military experience—discipline, problem-solving under pressure, and team coordination—to build businesses that are modernizing an industry historically slow to adopt new technologies. With 13% of veterans transitioning into construction post-service, this cohort represents both the natural alignment between military skills and construction needs, and the untapped potential for innovation in this $10B+ growth market.
The event will feature founder presentations, networking opportunities, and insights into how our Construction Tech accelerator (launching 2026) will support the next generation of veteran-led construction innovation.
