Here is the second part of our two-part powerful interview with Army combat veteran turned software developer and founder of VetClaims.ai Lukas Simianer.
After teaching himself computer coding, he went from flat broke to creating software that is revolutionizing the VA claims process.
We begin with his rise to tech entrepreneur as the founder of Clusiv- an e-learning platform built to assist the blind. Simianer shares the battle he faced when state and federal programs chose the inefficient status quo over his innovative software.
He also shares how the initial defeat led to an unusual offer from the CIA. And how psychedelics played a role in inspiring this groundbreaking software.
We also hear a troubling description of the VA’s C&P (Compensation and Pension) medical exam, and the overwhelming burden of proof put on veterans seeking benefits.
Simianer reveals how the code he developed allows VetClaims to instantly research millions of documents, making claims impossible to deny.
We close with the shocking battle he now faces in Congress. Mainly from former military officers (now politicians) who await votes on two bills that would crush VetClaims’ mission to help our vets.
Simianer says he's "going to be loud! ... because nobody fights harder than us."
