Reentry technology built from lived experience.

Andre Peart founded @UntappedSolutions to give reentry agencies and correctional programs the infrastructure to serve justice-impacted people — inside and after incarceration.

This is what building from the inside out looks like.

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom must be accompanied by opportunity.

For returning citizens, barriers often remain long after incarceration ends.

Today we honor the work of building pathways to economic freedom, dignity, and belonging.

In episode 77 the Investing in Impact podcast, I speak with Lawrence Williams III, Partner at The @de_carceration Fund, on the fund's mission to support startups that address the challenges faced by incarcerated individuals and those reentering society.

The U.S. criminal justice system affects over 6.6 million people and costs the nation more than $80 billion per year. The indirect costs of incarceration, estimated at $260 billion annually.
