Up next, Mark Harsley on helping isolated individuals connect through Kitemailapp - so happy to bring you to the #virtualcombine stage today!

When Mark was in federal prison, the most uplifting parts of his time there were when he received messages of support from friends and family. Their encouragement led him to apply to @KenzieAcademy to become a software developer upon release.

In institutions across the country, a "kite" is communication among inmates. During lockdowns, Mark would see people sending messages on strings to communicate with one another across cells. That was the inspiration for Kitemailapp

"Communication is essential to all of us." Research shows that incarcerated individuals who are able to stay connected to family and friends as there support group are less likely to return to prison.

"We take snail mail for granted in the US, but for inmates, it's the primary way to connect with the outside world. We wanted to provide a way to keep it affordable for families."

"Because we have a tech solution on one side and a physical postcard on the other, what we're doing can actually become an inspiration for the people inside."

Loving Mark Harsley's Kitemailapp entrepreneurship story! @KenzieAcademy grad, technical founder, full-stack developer, innovative business model, pivoting in COVID-19 - Mark's doing it all! #virtualcombine
