The Work

A Vision for Systems That Serve

The work of Last 1 isn’t just about solving isolated problems — it’s about rewiring entire systems to serve people with dignity, precision, and care. Across everything I’ve built — LastVet, the Veterans Coalition, Last 1 Nonprofit, Last 1 Capital, WIN, MATR, Last 1 Studio, and more — the throughline is a commitment to building the infrastructure for a flourishing future.

​

Why We Exist

Billions are spent on healthcare, housing, and support — yet veterans fall through the cracks, communities remain fragmented, and data is siloed. We believe this isn’t a funding issue. It’s a systems issue.

​

The Last 1 Ecosystem is my answer to that.

​

It’s a full-spectrum solution: convening leaders, rebuilding trust, aligning incentives, and delivering tech that actually works for humans.

 

The Core Pillars

1. LastVet

The platform. Veteran-owned data. Predictive AI matching. A care system that starts with the veteran and scales across service providers.

​

2. Veterans Coalition

The alliance. A national convening of organizations committed to collaboration, shared standards, and systemic accountability. Powered by trust and coordination.

​

3. Last 1 Nonprofit

The movement engine. Fiscal sponsor, strategic convener, and steward of the mission to end fragmentation and foster flourishing.

​

4. Last 1 Capital

The capital arm. Deploying catalytic, regenerative capital across for-profit and nonprofit efforts. Bridging philanthropy, venture, and systems change.

​

5. Last 1 Studio

The storytelling force. Creating media that humanizes systemic issues, elevates lived experience, and spreads the mission through compelling narratives. Includes the flagship LastVet reality series: "Finding the Last Veteran", which documents real outreach efforts to reconnect the most isolated veterans and restore community, dignity, and care.

​

Extensions of the Vision

WIN: Warriors In Need

An aviation workforce pipeline that gives veterans real career outcomes post-service. Backed by training, policy change, and industry partnerships.

​

MATR: Meaningful, Aligned, Truthful Relationships

A platform for intentional conversations that build trust, break division, and restore connection — one relationship at a time.

​

What Makes This Different

  • Data owned by people, not platforms

  • Tech that strengthens humanity, not replaces it

  • Capital aligned with outcomes, not just returns

  • Movements that are open-source, not controlled

This isn’t a startup. It’s a new kind of operating system — for care, for capital, for culture.

​

Where We’re Headed

We’re building a post-GDP model of value:

  • Measuring flourishing, purpose, trust, and outcomes

  • Redefining how systems allocate resources and attention

  • Creating platforms that scale impact without extracting from people

The goal is nothing short of systemic transformation — starting with veterans, and expanding to all who’ve been underserved by broken systems.

We’re not waiting for permission. We’re building what’s next.

Last 1 Ecosystem Map

​The Architecture of Integrated Change

The Last 1 Ecosystem is a multi-entity, multi-mission infrastructure designed to coordinate, catalyze, and transform systems that are currently siloed, extractive, or failing. This is not a single project or platform — it is a living system with shared values, interoperable data, aligned capital, and regenerative outcomes.

​

How It Works

Each arm of the ecosystem feeds and strengthens the others:

  • Last 1 Nonprofit
    Movement engine and fiscal sponsor. Provides convening, credibility, and the container for ecosystem-wide collaboration.

  • Veterans Coalition
    Powered by Last 1 Nonprofit. Brings veteran-serving organizations together to share best practices, co-develop standards, and feed real-world insights into the platform.

  • LastVet (Platform)
    For-profit technology infrastructure. Houses veteran data, care records, and AI-driven health and purpose matching. Informed by the Coalition, deployed through provider networks.

  • Last 1 Capital
    The capital allocator. Integrates philanthropic, venture, and catalytic capital into the system. Funds the tech, the movement, and regenerative experiments.

  • Last 1 Studio
    The media and storytelling engine. Documents movement building, elevates truth, and tells the stories that fuel cultural shift and political will.

  • MATR
    Relationship intelligence infrastructure. Facilitates deep, structured conversations across difference. Used for healing, alignment, and onboarding into coalitions or care.

  • WIN: Warriors In Need
    Employment and policy innovation. Creates veteran employment pipelines (starting with aviation) and drives legislative change to align labor systems with service.

​

The Flow of Value

  1. Veterans engage → via check-ins, purpose pathways, or care coordination

  2. Organizations join → through the Coalition and/or service delivery

  3. Data is collected + structured → interoperable, ethical, consent-driven

  4. Insights emerge → powered by AI + human design

  5. Capital is allocated → toward highest-leverage interventions

  6. Stories are shared → to spread, validate, and inspire

This flow repeats. The ecosystem becomes smarter, more coordinated, and more impactful over time.

​

The Big Picture

The Last 1 Ecosystem is designed to:

  • Make every veteran visible, valued, and supported

  • Rebuild trust across fractured systems

  • Move beyond GDP as the only metric of success

  • Create regenerative, scalable infrastructure that centers dignity

We’re not here to fix the old system.
We’re here to build the new one.
