Elevator Pitch
Twenty veterans die by suicide daily—often after losing the purpose service gave them. Meanwhile, New England's $15–20B trades industry faces a retirement cliff: owners average 56, most lack succession plans. Ironclad buys these firms, staffs them with veterans, and consolidates the back-office teams into the shared service center. Ironclad will build systems (processes, roles, training guides, apprenticeship programs, procurement at scale capability) and train the acquired teams on these new systems driving efficiency to drive to scale.
