About Us

KIBU GLOBAL
VENTURES LLC

KIBU Global Ventures LLC is a veteran-owned software company building technology for U.S. service members, veterans, and military families. We are an Oklahoma-registered Limited Liability Company, founded in 2026 by SFC Kirk A. Bucknor of the U.S. Army.

Every product we build solves a problem our founder personally lived. Not a market opportunity identified from a spreadsheet · a real problem, experienced firsthand, that existing tools failed to solve. That is the filter every feature passes through.

THE FOUNDER

He is approaching retirement after a distinguished military career and founded KIBU Global Ventures to build the tools he needed · and that every service member needs · but which didn't exist.

OUR MISSION

The military gives service members the tools to serve. It rarely gives them the tools to leave. TransitionCommand was built because Kirk started planning his own military transition and discovered there was no single platform that connected the dots · MOS to civilian career, service record to resume, VA timeline to separation date.

Going Out Global was built because three years stationed in Europe taught Kirk how much OCONUS soldiers miss · not from lack of desire, but lack of a guide. My New Spouse was built because junior enlisted couples navigate DEERS, BAH, TRICARE, and deployment prep with no structured guidance and no time to find it.

Every problem KIBU solves is a problem our founder lived. That's not a marketing statement · it's the standard every product is held to.
