A new model for second chances.

Built for street entrepreneurs who are sick and tired of the unlawful lifestyle and who are ready to redirect the skills they already have and use.
WHY THIS EXISTS

The skills are real. You just followed the wrong path.

The ‘system’ has a bad habit of treating people coming out of unlawful lives like they need a total makeover. You don’t.

What’s missing is an alternative path. You have already done things common to successful, lawful entrepreneurs. Secured suppliers, acquired customers, worked with others, bought wholesale and sold retail, set pricing, negotiated deals, distributed product, recruited people to join you, grew a territory (I’m sure you can add others!). The problem was never your capacity or capability. It was where and how you applied these skills.

2nd Chance Entrepreneurs™ exists to give your capacity and capabilities a legal home, and a meaningful purpose.

MISSION

Our mission.

We equip men and women with a history of Unlawful Entrepreneurship™ (street entrepreneurs) who are sick and tired of the unlawful lifestyle with the mentorship, education, and infrastructure to redirect the skills in Lawful Entrepreneurship™.

The goal isn’t a certificate. It’s a registered, lawful business with your name on it. And a future you hoped for, but couldn’t see before this.

FOUNDER
Bruce Kirk

Meet Bruce Kirk.

Bruce ‘Captain’ Kirk has spent years working with business founders, leaders, professionals and has watched the recovery/reentry system fail to recognize you have the skills and qualities of a successful entrepreneur, but not the pathway to make it happen legally.

He started 2nd Chance Entrepreneurs™ because he was tired of waiting for someone else to.

“I built this because the talent is there. The drive is there. What’s missing is somewhere to put it that doesn’t put people back in the system.”

— Bruce Kirk, Founder

WHAT WE BELIEVE

What makes us different.

The skills are real.

They just need a legal place to live.

No pretending.

We meet you where you are. No pretending to be someone you’re not.

Real businesses, not certificates.

Success is measured in sustainable revenue, not graduations.

You're an entrepreneur, not a project.

That’s how we’ll treat you.

We believe in second chances.

More than that, we believe in second application of the business skills you already have.
