The Story of our CEO, Patrick Sullivan…

I was born rich…
Rich in health.
Rich in family.
Rich in dreams.

As a rich kid growing up in the Bronx, I would sit at home at night and dream about all the things I could be when I grew up. Except my dreams were not connected to my reality.

We were building superintendents, and my dad worked 3 jobs from 5AM through midnight every day.

My dad took home a paycheck of $434/week.
There were drugs and crime all around us.
People were being killed in our neighborhood.
Violence was a way of life.

So how does one succeed with all of these barriers? Well, I am the anomaly… one of the very few lucky ones. But what about all of those kids out there today growing up in the Bronx? How can we help them develop, progress, and find paths to better lives?

We are here to build a new experience. With butterflyone, we will empower and equip those kids and every learner with a path to fly.
