Dive summary:

• Iraq veterans Yinon Weiss and Aaron Kietzing try to help veterans connect with Rallypoint social network.
• Weiss and Kietzing met in Iraq and reconnected at Harvard Business School, where they launched idea of a “Linkedin for veterans.”
• Idea is based on veterans’ preference to connect in a military-only community.

From the article:

RallyPoint is free for members and has no formal relationship with the military and doesn’t share its data with the military or chain of command, the co-founders said. Instead, the network gives its members the opportunity to establish their professional military identity and offers visibility into the dates at which its members might be shifting into new units and offers some transparency as to the types of positions that would be available to them.
