OUR MISSION: CREATE A PATHWAY TO OPPORTUNITY FOR FORMERLY INCARCERATED PEOPLE THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
OUR VISION: PRISONS WILL BECOME ‘GRAD SCHOOLS’ FOR THE WORLD’S MOST IMPACTFUL LEADERS. AND FORMERLY INCARCERATED PEOPLE, BY STARTING VIABLE, HIRING BUSINESSES, WILL HELP TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF RECIDIVISM AND ULTIMATELY END MASS INCARCERATION
Our in-prison workshop prepares returning citizens with a business and action plan so they can hit the ground running upon release.
In our business support group formerly incarcerated people receive the knowledge and guidance they need to succeed as entrepreneurs.
A new matching grant program for second chance entrepreneurs, participants complete a business plan and save money to put toward their endeavor. After saving $300, we triple their savings and help them grow their business. (Launching 2021)
Every dollar raised goes directly to support second chance entrepreneurs through our Rise Up, Get Started Entrepreneurship Matching Grant program.
