How We Got Started

How we got started

In 2018 on a park bench in Lafayette Square in our Nation’s Capital, the idea of GuideOn was founded.

A pattern emerged after years of servicing veterans in higher education, non-profits, and connecting businesses to the military-connected community.
One of inconsistent missed opportunities or duplication in efforts to serve this unique community.

GuideOn’s founder Ashley Gorbulja found herself in a position to make a difference.

GuideOn’s founder wrote the services and products on that park bench to serve as a compass and to be the ultimate “Guide” to the military-connected community. It was there our first business plan was drafted, and the rest is herstory.

GuideOn is a woman and service-dis “abled” veteran-owned small business that operates in the Washington, DC metro area.

Our Core values are the deeply ingrained principles that guide all of a company's actions; they serve as our cultural cornerstones and foundation of building programs, people, and military-connected communities.

Guide: Discovering, listening, empathizing, and making decisions to meet your goals.
Respect: Demonstrating reliability, patience, and flexibility into our everyday routine.
Integrity: Building feelings of trust, safety, and wellbeing.
Teamwork: Fostering a diverse set of skills and talents to deliver quality services and products.
