Wayne Schell, A Mentor of Entrepreneur Veterans

A VIR Cohort of Veteran Entrepreneurs 

Giving Back 

For the past six years, Wayne has been a mentor to Veteran entrepreneurs who are in the early stages of startup growth with newly founded companies.   

As a former USAF fighter pilot and CEO of HSS, a national security service company with over 4500 employees, he has always looked for opportunities to give back to other Veterans.   

The Veterans in Residence program is sponsored by Bunker Labs and has a cohort of Veterans every six months. Our Cohort is based in Denver.   

The Cohort meets weekly and is orchestrated by Bunker Labs Ambassadors. Wayne has found by learning about each Veteran’s company and their challenges, he can translate his experiences, both good and bad, into positive advice to help them grow, scale and raise capital. 

Helping to Scale 

“It is so great to see so many talented Veterans, many just out of the military, from all branches of the service. They have such great ideas and ambition. It is an honor to provide some aspect of help in their journey to success.”
