Today's History Story: Their Black Love Endured Decades Of Slavery And Separation They endure a profound sense of disconnection and isolation within cold confines, feeling adrift even in the midst of others. But many fail to realize that this isolation, like the cruel echoes of history, is not by happenstance—it's a meticulously designed and devastating consequence of incarceration. Today's guest, however, innovated a solution to mitigate that isolation and connect incarcerated people with their loved ones. That man is Frederick Hutson.   Frederick is a social impact entrepreneur, Air Force veteran, and formerly incarcerated person. During his four years in prison, he experienced first-hand the predatory nature of the 1.2 billion dollar inmate communication industry. He chose to turn what was negative into a means to help his community and created a product called Pigeonly that helps to ensure incarcerated individuals have access to others outside the inhumane walls of prison.

In the last episode of the drug dealer series, we sit down with Frederick Hutson, founder of Pigeonly, a platform that helps people connect with incarcerated loved ones. Of course, such an idea was not created without due experience. Growing up around the world of drugs, Frederick knew that the biggest money makers in town were drug dealers. However, Frederick did not turn out to be your average "small town hero" drug dealer. After working in the Air Force, he grew an underground marijuana operation that would move $22 million dollars of product a year. His knack for fine-tuning and calibrating a business ended up taking him much farther than he ever anticipated. Join us as we learn how Frederick’s journey through culture shock, intense contemplation, and a desire to problem-solve led him to founding Pigeonly.

Episode 48 features Art Collector Frederick Hutson, the CEO and co-founder of Pigeonly, a platform that makes it easy for people to search, find, and communicate with an incarcerated loved one. A born entrepreneur, he launched and sold his first business at the age of 19 while on active duty in the Air Force. After an honorable discharge in 2005, he went on to build and sell his second business. Though his entrepreneurial spirit often led him to new opportunities, his desire to attain the American Dream on his terms took him down the wrong path. At 23, he was sent to federal prison for the illegal distribution of 3,000 kg of marijuana. It was this life-changing experience that motivated him to build a solution that would positively impact the lives of people no one else was paying attention to – inmates and their families. The idea of Pigeonly was born. Launched in 2012, Pigeonly makes it possible for subscribers to easily send printed photos, letters, greeting cards, postcards, and even online articles from any cell phone, tablet or computer within a few clicks. One of Pigeonly’s most successful products is a low-cost VoIP phone solution, similar to Google Voice, for notoriously expensive prison phone calls. This product alone helps families save over $2MM/year in predatory phone fees per year. Pigeonly’s accomplishments in the space have not gone unnoticed and have allowed Hutson’s voice to be a part of the overall criminal justice reform conversation. Hutson’s work has been featured in numerous national and international media outlets, including CNN Money, Forbes, New York Times, Vice, Fast Company, and Complex, et al. With his success, Frederick Hutson has built an impressive art collection. https://frederickhutson.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Hutson https://www.linkedin.com/in/frederickhutson/ https://www.globestats.com/frederick-hutson-hutsons-success-story/ https://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/07/business/smallbusiness/released-from-prison-and-starting-a-company.html https://www.fastcompany.com/90523510/the-most-important-startup-rule-play-the-long-game https://www.forbes.com/sites/columbiabusinessschool/2019/12/09/why-prominent-silicon-valley-investors-trusted-an-ex-con-with-over-5m-to-fund-his-multimillion-dollar-company-part-1-of-2/?sh=1a336b303d87

Frederick Hutson served in the US Air Force where he worked on jet engines at the Nellis Air Force Base as an electrician. During his time in the Air Force he launched and ran several businesses, including a window-tinting business that made about $50,000 when he was 19. He was honorably discharged in 2005 after the base began downsizing and eventually turned his business efforts to sending marijuana through the parcel companies. A business that landed him in federal prison. Listen in as Hutson takes you through his journey from drug dealer to ex-con, to ultimately a legitimate multimillionaire businessman who is co-Founder and CEO of Pigeonly; a platform that makes it easy for people to search, find, and communicate with an incarcerated loved one. Pigeonly makes it possible for subscribers to easily send printed photos, letters, greeting cards, postcards, and even online articles from any cell phone, tablet, or computer within a few clicks. One of Pigeonly's most successful products is a low-cost VoIP phone solution, similar to Google Voice, for notoriously expensive prison phone calls. This product alone helps families save over $2MM/year in predatory phone fees per year. Under Frederick's leadership, Pigeonly has become one of the largest independent inmate services providers in the country. His innovative approach to disrupting the $4 billion predatory prison services industry has led him to further developing Pigeonly's core proprietary technology, an application programming interface (API) which searches and organizes thousands of Federal, State, and County records per day.

It is often said that the best entrepreneurs start companies that solve a problem that they personally experienced themselves. Frederick is a great example of this.

He succeeded with Pigeonly. But, along his personal journey From Founder To CEO, he also had to learn how Founder self-awareness and emotional intelligence leads to CEO growth and startup success. Listen as he describes his journey.

A very clever man, Frederick was messengering marijuana very, very successfully...until. Then he was faced with the isolation from the very people who could help him through this tough time, his family and friends. Because of security restrictions, it is difficult for inmates to stay connected with their loved ones so Frederick put his cleverness to work and developed Pigeonly (like the bird) to help family find inmates and inmates to find family on sanctioned ecommunication channels. For example, one of Pigeonly's products lets inmates and loved ones have phone calls at reduced rates. All these ways of keeping connected help inmates walk the straight and narrow after they have served their time.

“Most people in the Silicon Valley tech ecosystem… believe that institutions are meritocracies,” says Freada Kapor Klein, a founding partner of Kapor Capital. “If you believe that self-serving nonsense then you believe that if there's no diversity in your circles, it's because whoever's outside isn't good enough, and it's an incredibly dangerous and inaccurate belief system.” In the season 1 finale of the Access & Opportunity podcast, Carla Harris talks to Kapor Klein about how her Oakland-based venture capital firm, which she co-founded with her husband, the computer visionary Mitchell Kapor, is breaking down the investment barriers for startups run by women and multicultural entrepreneurs. To date, 56% of Kapor Capital’s investments have gone to startups with a founder who is a woman or a person of color from an underrepresented background. “We’re often the first money in, and our investment has signaling value—that we believe in this entrepreneur, in this business model, and we’re going to help them succeed,” says Kapor Klein.Taking it a step further, Kapor Capital has also invested in startups with a social justice angle that look to help underserved communities. One such venture—Pigeonly—helps families find affordable ways to keep in touch with incarcerated relatives. It’s all part of Kapor Klein’s evolving approach “to both identify leaks in the pipeline and to plug them.” The guest speakers are neither employees nor affiliated with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC.

Frederick Hutson is the founder and CEO at Pigeonly - which is a startup that creates tech products designed to help prisoners communicate. Beyond the ingenuity of his ideas, Frederick himself is an anomaly. Once just a budding entrepreneur in his 20’s, his entrepreneurial spunk was exercised in an industry that landed him behind bars with a sentence of 51 months. But, Mr. Hutson prevails, and he’s fresh out of Y Combinator and fueled by not a little bit of investment dollars.
