Marcus — Re-entry Concierge

QR-code wallet + concierge that walks returning citizens through their first 90 days home.

Marcus is a re-entry concierge agent built with the Close Encounters community model. Before release, the community crowdfunds a QR-code wallet. On day one home, Marcus greets the returning citizen at the halfway house, unlocks their startup capital, and walks them through housing, ID, work, and health enrollment — no forms, just conversation.

§ Built for
