Our Mission

PEP unites executives and inmates through entrepreneurial passion and servant leadership to transform lives, restore families and rebuild communities.

Who We Are

Established in 2004, the Prison Entrepreneurship Program (PEP) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We have pioneered innovative programs that connect the nation’s top executives, entrepreneurs, and MBA students with convicted felons. Our entrepreneurship boot camp and re-entry programs are proven solutions for preventing recidivism, maximizing self-sufficiency and transforming broken lives. PEP is not just a program. We are a revolution, achieving amazing results with profound impacts. At PEP, our beliefs drive us to offer the opportunity for a “fresh start” to reformed inmates who thrive on challenge and accountability.
