Real updates from SFC Kirk Bucknor · building KIBU Global Ventures on active duty, stationed in Germany, approaching retirement. No fluff. Just the mission.
Big week. KIBU Global Ventures LLC is officially registered in Oklahoma · Certificate of Limited Liability Company issued May 17, 2026. The company is real. The paperwork is done. Now we execute.
TransitionCommand awareness campaign is live on Meta. 32,000+ people reached at $0.15 per 1,000 with "The Gate" ad · the soldier standing at the main gate at sunset. That image resonates. The creative works.
Going Out is in closed beta on Google Play. Need 12 testers opted in for 14 days before Google unlocks production access. Currently at 2. Put out the call to the community · if you have an Android and want to help, DM me the email tied to your Play Store account.
The old site was a placeholder. The new site is the front door to a company. Full rebuild · 11 pages, 4 product cards, government pitch with contract templates, and a resources section with original content.
My New Spouse launched as a product alongside TransitionCommand and Going Out. The dual-theme app · navy/gold for the soldier, wine/rose for the spouse · is the most personal product I've built. Every junior enlisted couple that gets married and immediately has to figure out DEERS, BAH, and TRICARE in the same week · this is for them.
The government pitch page now has four ready-to-use document templates: micropurchase memo, MOU, sole source justification, and performance work statement. Any TAP director can take those documents to their contracting office tomorrow.
✓ CompleteGoing Out Europe officially rebranded and expanded to Going Out Global. 143 destinations across 6 categories · castles, gardens, museums, trails, beaches, and historic towns. The original 63 European destinations are still there, joined by 80 new global entries.
The Atlas Deep Forest theme is the biggest visual overhaul since the app launched. Dark forest green base, Playfair Display serif font, color-coded category tabs. It looks like something worth downloading.
I'm a Sergeant First Class with 20 years in the Army. Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. Logistics leader across USAREUR. I have spent my career making systems work better.
When I started planning my own transition, I discovered the system for transitioning veterans is completely broken. TAP class is 5 days. My service was 20 years. That math doesn't work for anyone.
I built TransitionCommand because I needed it. I built Going Out because I was stationed in Europe and missed most of it. I built My New Spouse because I watched junior enlisted couples navigate DEERS and BAH with no guide and no time.
Every product KIBU builds solves a problem I personally lived. That's not a marketing statement. That's the standard.
