In 2016, Richard Bronson launched 70 Million Jobs, the first national, for-profit employment platform for people with criminal records. Learning of the launch, LA Mayor Eric Garcetti’s office reached out and asked Bronson to partner with the city, to help reduce unemployment and recidivism among the formerly incarcerated. Y Combinator then recruited Bronson to go through its program. Upon completion, Bronson raised VC money from the likes of Founders Fund, mAc Capital, Quake Capital, Y Combinator and Insight general partners, and began building his business in SF, later moving the team to Los Angeles.In less than three years, 70 Million Jobs succeeded in facilitating employment for thousands of deserving men and women at some of the country’s largest employers, more than any other organization has achieved, while at the same time driving $3.5 million in ARR. During the past 4 years at\u0026nbsp;70 Million Jobs, we:Found jobs for Americans with criminal records, 2500+ positions filledHad our best month to date in February 2020, booking $200,000+ in revenueReceived $1 million+ engagement from Uber (Feb. 2020)Raised $1.4M+ from key investors incl. Founders Fund; Y Combinator companyBuilt an 11M+ user community; partnered with 400+ community organizationsAnd had $3.5M projected revenue by 2020Next. The coronavirus has virtually eliminated new hiring as 40 million Americans have lost their jobs. But this event provided us with the time and bandwidth to embark on the next step in our evolution: build the first social network for the 70 million Americans with a criminal record.Introducing Commissary Club. The first social network for the 70 million Americans with criminal records. Commissary Club will offer:\u0026nbsp;1.

An e-commerce marketplace:\u0026nbsp;specially curated goods and services, including housing, classes, mentorships, employment, medical and legal services, clothing, marijuana and much more.Our advantages from Day 1. We already have 11 million folks with records in our community. We already have 450+ partnerships with every important community organization, non-profit, governmental agency, parole and probation department, correctional facility. We know every key influencer in reentry. We know how to market to this population like few others. We enjoy an excellent reputation in the space. Revenue:\u0026nbsp;NEED NEW PROJECTED REVENUEMarket Opportunity:\u0026nbsp;Commissary Club as a social media platform is operating in a $52.7 billion market, with projected 100 million users. It is estimated that close to 100 million Americans are either directly or indirectly involved in the criminal justice system. We plan to tap into that full market, serving not only users with a criminal record, but also their friends and family members who experience unique challenges.Exit Strategy:\u0026nbsp;[I'd like to discuss with you Richard -- do we want to include this ? (We don't have it on Republic). If so, what IS our exit strategy?$1.4M in funding to date70 Million Jobs has raised over $1.4M in funding today from prominent investors, including Founder's Fund, Insight partners, MaC Venture Capital, Quake Capital, and Y Combinator. By reaching our fundraising goal of $3M, we hope to build out our team so we can enhance our platform and provide more individuals a pathway to employment.","quick_facts":["Y Combinator 2017 alum.","A
