#18 Veterans Need Mentors and Uvize is There - Dave Cass, Uvize

Published: Feb. 26, 2019, 6:06 p.m.

Drawn to the Navy for the mission and the adventure, Dave Cass made his decision to join in high school. He did ROTC at Tulane and felt a bond with the aviation program, mainly because of the team feeling and aspect. After two tours, he ended up in Colorado teaching ROTC and decided to stay in Boulder after his military career was over. A stint with Oracle gave him a technology background that became his springboard. Back teaching at Colorado, he did his startup on the side while continuing to learn and earn. It's also where he met his co-founder. While teaching, he became astounded at the low graduation rate and attributed it to lack of mentorship, especially for veterans. Hence Uvize was born to connect mentors with those who need it.\n\nVeteran Founder Podcast with your hosts Josh Carter and Carmen Nazario\n\nWe record the Felony Inc Podcast inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.\n\nAudio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon Beausoleil\n\nShow logo was designed by Carolyn Main\n\nWebsite was designed by Cameron Grimes\n\nProduction assistant is Chelsea Lancaster\n\nTheme music: Artist: Tipsy Track: Kadonka Album: Buzzz Courtesy of Ipecac Records\n\n10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimes\n\nListen to the Veteran Founder Podcast live on-air every Friday at 1:00pm pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com
