FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 28 August 2026
SUMMERVILLE, SC – Veteran Recovery Coalition (VRC), a South Carolina-based registered nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans in need, and Azumo, an AI native software development services company, are proud to announce a partnership to design and build VRC’s revolutionary Veteran Rapid Response Platform (VRRP), that will simplify and streamline services and benefits available to veterans of the US military at any stage of their reintegration back to civilian life.
The Veteran Rapid Response Platform (VRRP) provides coordinated support that connects veterans with housing, employment, healthcare, recovery services, benefits assistance, and community resources designed to restore stability and self-sufficiency. Through the platform, VRC stays connected with the Veteran for up to 10 years, working with them every step of the way to ensure the Veteran uses their resources effectively and reaches a stable and fulfilling post-military life.
“We have been working for Veterans for over a decade and have had to fight through an endless quagmire to assist veterans. Far too many veterans are lost or frustrated by the existing fragmented and confusing landscape of services currently available to our Veterans. Thankfully, we do not have a resource problem in our country. The problem is a system that fatigues many Veterans, and many fall into despair. We have used our experience to build a platform that addresses these challenges. Azumo clearly has superior capabilities and exceptional people. More importantly, they also understand the problem. They understand the issues veterans face today and are committed to building a better tomorrow for our veterans. We are honored and grateful to be working with Azumo, and we look forward to working with them for many years into the future,” said CPT Robert M. Cornicelli, Veteran Recovery Coalition Founder and President.
“We have been diligently searching for a company that understands the issue and can help design and build the solution. Veterans are our focus; however, so are our donors, grantors, and our employees. With Azumo, we have designed a platform with all of our stakeholders in mind. This holistic approach combined with their engineering capabilities is what makes Azumo stand out. We are thrilled to be partnering with them,” said James Cornicelli, Chief Operating Officer at Veteran Recovery Coalition.
“Robert and James have spent more than a decade in this fight: veterans in crisis navigating a system that exhausts them before it helps them. Azumo is focused on building intelligent applications, and this is exactly the kind of problem that approach was built for. VRC puts AI to work to surface the right services and benefits for veterans in crisis, so case managers can triage and move faster so that no veteran falls through a gap. We are proud to build alongside a team this committed,” said Chike Agbai, Founder and CEO of Azumo.
“We are focused on South Carolina first; simultaneously, we are working towards a global solution. Veterans from all over the world will be able to access VRRP and all of the services, benefits, and products available to them. Launch is imminent, and we are thrilled to be in this position,” said CPT Cornicelli
The platform is scheduled to launch in August 2026.
