RESTARTUP ACADEMY

Restartup Academy is a 501c3 Organization that has evolved to become an incubator to empower formerly incarcerated individuals passionate about starting their own businesses to succeed... I am now transitioning from prison to the outside world. The work I put in behind bars is paying off, largely thanks to the support of incredible people. I am now working with one of my mentors, David Israel, in food-based entrepreneurial ventures, as well as social ventures. The vision I spent so many years crafting is now coming into focus. ReStartup Academy is the vehicle through which other men can achieve the same thing for themselves... Formed in 2017 to teach entrepreneurship skills inside Washington State prisons, Restartup Academy embraced this challenge by partnering with Defy Ventures, a national non-profit, to create a thriving life changing programs at Monroe Correctional Complex
