GCubed Ranks #29 on Vet100 List

Stafford, Virginia – GCubed has been named to the annual Vet100 list—a compilation of the nation’s fastest-growing veteran-owned businesses. The ranking, created in partnership with Inc. Magazine and Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF), was born out of the iconic Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies based in the U.S. Both distinctions are considered hallmarks of entrepreneurial success.

Originally established as the Vet50 list, this year’s list expanded to include 100 veteran-owned businesses in acknowledgement of the growing culture and success of veteran entrepreneurs.

GCubed Founder & CEO Vernon Green Jr., a retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer, says, “At GCubed, we honor our veterans. We continue to build an environment and culture where veterans can confidently apply for opportunities, seek entrepreneur mentorship, and ultimately, successfully transition from the military to a civilian career. After the sacrifices veterans have made protecting our country, providing an opportunity is the least we can do!”

The Vet100 list will be announced on Saturday, March 7, 2020 in Dallas, TX, at the Vet100 Awards dinner during IVMF’s Veteran EDGE national conference (March 5 – 8, 2020). EDGE is the first-of-its-kind coalition of large companies supporting the success of veteran-owned businesses, connecting them with entrepreneurial education, training, resources, and networking opportunities.

Reflecting on 2019

Upon reflecting on 2019, I am pleased to say my team and I accomplished our professional goals set forth over the past year. Continuous self-improvement, holding our values high, and setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time based (SMART) goals led us to multiple wins this past year:

The Inc. 500 list (#386), the Institute for Veterans & Military Families and Inc. Magazine Vet100 list (#29), the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce’s Good Business Award, and the Department of Labor’s HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award. 

We continue to grow in experience, relationships, and revenue. Additionally, we continue to serve our community, provide opportunities, and be impactful in all that we do. We look forward to the opportunities that 2020 brings.

Happy New Year!

Veterans Day 2019 – Supporting Our Vets

GCubed thanks our nation’s veterans for their selfless service – today we celebrate and honor them. We’re pleased to share some reflections on Veterans Day from two veterans on our team:

“As GCubed founder and a veteran, I know first-hand the sacrifices made to accomplish the mission. After transitioning from active duty, I saw so many veterans suffer in silence. We lost a brother this past week to suicide. At some point we must learn that our service, in that manner, has passed and we must take care of ourselves. Suffering in silence is not the way. Suicide can be avoided. As vets, please seek help. As someone who cares for vets, I ask you to genuinely show concern. Our veterans are a treasure of experience, skills, and work ethic, in addition to dedication, commitment and leadership! It saddens me that this is a continued problem. Please thank a veteran for their sacrifices and keep them in your thoughts and prayers.”

“As Americans we seem to only think of our veterans around this time of year. While serving I never gave much thought as to what it meant for myself, it was more about accomplishing the mission at hand. We get so wrapped up in the day-to-day operations that we forget to take a moment for ourselves on this day. As a veteran who served 26 years, I still think about my personal contributions and remember the contributions of others. It is a great pleasure to work for a company that supports our veterans.
-Tracy Bruner, GCubed Operations & Recruiting

As a veteran-led organization, we and our non-profit partner G3CS are proud to lift up veterans in our community – whether it’s aiding the transition to the civilian workplace via mentorship, hiring veterans and providing opportunities for advancement, or partnering with veteran-led organizations. There are so many ways to honor those who served – we are grateful to have the opportunity to give back.

Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally established to honor the end of WWI on November 11, 1918. On November 11, 1938 legislation was passed for a new legal holiday that honored WWI veterans. It wasn’t until after World War II and the Korean War that the 83rd Congress amended the Act of 1938 to remove Armistice and replaced it with Veterans to show respect and honor for all veterans.
