Program models
How entrepreneurship programs for justice-impacted founders are built
Compare the three dominant program models serving incarcerated and formerly incarcerated entrepreneurs: in-prison, post-release, and cohort-based accelerators.
In-prison entrepreneurship programs
How in-prison entrepreneurship programs operate: curriculum length, MBA-style instruction, business plan competitions, and the recidivism data behind them.
Post-release reentry entrepreneurship programs
Post-release entrepreneurship programs for formerly incarcerated founders: structure, capital access, mentorship, and the 90-day window that determines outcomes.
Cohort-based accelerators for returning citizens
How cohort-based accelerators serve returning citizens: selection criteria, capital terms, mentor matching, and what separates effective programs from performative ones.
