Recurrent Ventures announced its acquisition of We Are The Mighty, a veteran-led digital publisher and media agency servicing brands with video production, marketing, advertising, and consulting services to engage with the military community.
Following We Are The Mighty’s acquisition, Recurrent has the largest military footprints in digital media.

We Are The Mighty CEO and Air Force veteran, Mark Harper will continue to oversee day-to-day operations for the WATM team, within Recurrent’s Auto and Military vertical, led by General Manager, Jason Lepore. WATM’s marquee event offering, Military Influencer Conference, founded by Army veteran Curtez Riggs, will remain under Riggs’s leadership at Recurrent. MIC is the leading military-focused event for entrepreneurs, influencers, executives, and brands who shape and support the military community. Annually, MIC brings together more than 100 global partners and 2000 attendees over a three-day conference with eight tracks of focus.
