Proud to support Kyle J Smith and Determination, Incorporated!
Since we launched our INVESTOR campaign in the fall, 26 people have stepped up to invest $20/month or $250 once in our mission. Our goal is to get to 100 people in the next year. Will you be one of the first 100 people to invest in our second chance entrepreneur community? Here's the link to give securely online: www.determinationincorporated.com/
One of our first Investors was Anne Cull, owner of Think Viral here in KC. We asked Anne why she invested, here's what she said:
"Thousands of people go to jail every day because they were caught trying to make money doing something illegal. These individuals are often smart, self-motivated, collaborative risk-takers who are not afraid to take action. They are already entrepreneurs who may never know they're entrepreneurs unless someone is willing to show them how they can spin their skills to build a legitimate small business.
They will not be incarcerated forever. More than 650,000 people are released from prison every year and 2 out of 3 are rearrested within three years because they weren't aware of any legitimate opportunities, or they were removed from jobs or programs after someone found out they were a convicted felon.
Second chance entrepreneur communities offer the structure and tools we all need to run successful companies with the added bonus of peer support from other ex-offenders who are in the same boat. Business ownership is really hard and it's even harder when you're hiding a felony conviction. If more people were willing to support second chance entrepreneurs, more second-chance entrepreneurs could change their life trajectories. That's absolutely something worth investing in!"
