Bunker Labs and JPMorgan Chase Commercial Banking Expand CEOcircle Program with New Cohort of Business Owners

68 veterans and military spouses to participate in 13-month program helping companies accelerate growth

Today, Bunker Labs and JPMorgan Chase Commercial Banking announced the new cohort of business leaders selected for the second annual CEOcircle, a thirteen-month training program tailored to help midsize veteran and military-spouse led companies accelerate growth.

Building on the success of the inaugural 2021 program, Bunker Labs and JPMorgan Chase expanded the program’s capacity this year to include 68 business owners. This includes 62 new participants and six returning entrepreneurs who will continue to solve business challenges and uncover new opportunities after successfully completing the program last year.

“In 2021, our first CEOcircle cohort set the standard for excellence. The 41 cohort members joined us from across the country, representing companies generating as much as $1 billion in annual revenue,” said Terry Hill, Co-Head of Veteran Initiatives, JPMorgan Chase Commercial Banking. “We’re confident that the next group of talented entrepreneurs will build on the success of their predecessors and motivate one another to reach new heights.”

CEOcircle participants are selected via a rigorous evaluation process, which includes factors such as historical and projected growth, business strategy and openness to mentorship. In addition, all participating companies must:

  • Be led by a military veteran and/or military spouse (CEO, senior executive and/or controlling shareholder)
  • Have achieved an annual revenue of $1+ million or raised $5 million in capital
  • Show high growth potential via market size, industry, market saturation and significant traction

This new cohort represents a diverse array of industries and specializations such as: education, technology, and healthcare. Participants also bring unique points of view to help one another tackle business issues. This cohort is 43% diverse and 73% are service-disabled veterans.

“CEOcircle is driving tangible results for participating businesses, and we can’t wait to see what this next cohort will achieve,” said Blake Hogan, CEO of Bunker Labs. “As our 2021 cohort wraps up their program this November, our team is energized and excited to dive in with the next generation of veteran and military-spouse entrepreneurs.”

The full list of companies selected to participate in the 2022 CEOcircle cohort is available at bunkerlabs.org/welcome-ceocircle-2022-cohort.
