I am thrilled to share that Double TAP was awarded the U.S. Forces in Business Diversity & Inclusion Award at their Annual Awards Gala in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, December 3rd.

Paul Olsen, Executive Director of the ODU Institute for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, had the privilege of accepting this award on behalf of the entire Double TAP team. This recognition reflects the collective passion, dedication, and belief in our mission to support transitioning service members as they build their futures in entrepreneurship and innovation.

This award reinforces what we already know, supporting veterans is not only the right thing to do, it strengthens our workforce, drives innovation, and builds a more resilient American economy.
Proud of this team. Proud of this mission. Proud to serve those who have served.
