In the fast-paced world of Venture Capital and Private Equity, efficiency isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s the difference between scaling smart and stalling out.

Squared Away, a premier virtual assistant agency powered by military spouses, has become a trusted behind-the-scenes operator for funds and founders alike. From inbox and calendar management to investor reporting, executive travel, CRM hygiene, and portfolio support, we are the secret weapon for firms that value precision, discretion, and getting sh*t done.

The Challenge: High-Growth Chaos

VC and PE firms operate in a high-stakes, high-velocity environment:

• Investors need timely data, follow-ups, and reporting.

• Portcos need support as they scale quickly but aren’t ready for full-time hires.

• Founders and GPs are drowning in admin that distracts from deal-making and growth.

Traditional executive assistant hires are time-consuming, expensive, and hard to retain, especially for early-stage companies or lean PE teams.

_{Why Military Spouses?}

Military spouses are one of the most overlooked and underleveraged talent pools in the modern workforce. Despite holding degrees, certifications, and years of experience, they’re often sidelined due to frequent moves, gaps in employment, and employer bias.

At Squared Away, we don’t just believe in their potential, we build businesses around it. Here’s what sets them apart:

🔁 Adaptable by Design

Military spouses are constantly navigating change. New duty stations, new schools, new time zones, new challenges. That agility translates seamlessly into the fast-paced worlds of VC and PE. They can onboard quickly, learn new systems in record time, and shift priorities without skipping a beat.

🔍 Resourceful & Operationally Sharp

Need someone who can find a solution without handholding? You’ve found them. Our assistants are trained to be proactive problem-solvers who anticipate needs, follow through on details, and spot inefficiencies before they snowball. They are often the quiet engines powering seamless operations.

🧠 Emotionally Intelligent & People-Savvy

Years of supporting families through deployments and transitions gives military spouses a deep well of empathy and calm under pressure. They know how to handle tough conversations, manage relationships, and support high-stress stakeholders, all while maintaining grace and professionalism.

🔒 Loyal, Professional, and Security-Minded

Military life requires a level of discretion and discipline that’s hard to teach. Our assistants are vetted, background-checked, and trained in confidentiality protocols. Many hold security clearances. When you partner with Squared Away, you’re getting trustworthy, mission-driven professionals who treat your business like their own.

🌐 Remote-Ready from Day One

Military spouses have built their careers around remote work out of necessity. They're already fluent in the tools, rhythms, and expectations of asynchronous, high-performance virtual collaboration — no ramp-up needed.
