Anthony Pinto is the founder of Veteran Vectors, an AI consulting and automation company serving defense and government contractors. A former submarine officer with nine years of service, Anthony previously appeared on the SABM podcast in April 2020 while still on active duty, managing real estate deals from overseas.
After leaving the Navy and navigating the challenges of military spouse life, Anthony pivoted from real estate to launch Veteran Vectors in 2025. His company helps small and medium-sized defense tech companies compete with prime contractors by automating manual processes, streamlining compliance audits, and building custom AI solutions.
In this episode of the SABM podcast, Scott chats with Anthony about:
- Veteran Vectors Mission: Helping defense and government contractors use AI to automate manual processes in HR, compliance, and backend operations.
- The RAPID Framework: Identifying tasks for automation using criteria like repetitive, accuracy-driven, process-driven, input-heavy, and digitized workflows.
- Real-World Applications: Examples include payroll automation, job search tools, and CMMC compliance audits that save hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars.
- Military Spouse Entrepreneurship: Building a remote business that provides flexibility during frequent relocations and duty station changes.
- Family First Philosophy: Taking a six-month break from real estate to focus on family after his first daughter's NICU stay and finding clarity in the process.
