Second Echelon Capital empowers veteran-owned businesses with funding, mentorship, and strategic support.
ABOUT US
Second Echelon, Your
Strategic Second Wave.
Inspired by the military formation it’s named after, Second Echelon Capital steps in to support veterans—America’s first echelon—as they transition into entrepreneurship. Founded by Air Force veteran Matt Brooks, our mission is to expand economic opportunity for veterans by offering capital, training, and advisory.
OUR ADVANTAGE
Capital, Strategy and
continuous support.
More than an investor, Second Echelon Capital is a partner. We provide the funding veterans need to acquire and operate businesses, alongside M&A support, business education, and mentorship. We typically make minority equity investments—empowering veterans to lead with ownership and confidence.
WHY US
We Invest in Veterans,
Not Just Companies
Unlike traditional firms, our focus isn’t just ROI—it’s impact. We prioritize veterans’ long-term success, job creation, and community growth over short-term profits. With integrity, excellence, and service as our values, we are patient, committed allies.
