Wall Street Exodus (“Exodus”) is a project in which Wall Street professionals re-purpose their financial and business skills to create self-sustaining businesses for the world’s poor, starting right up the road in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
 
Our mission is to transform lives.  This will occur in three ways.  First, the lives of the poor in the areas visited will be transformed through increased wages and job opportunities from the businesses created, resulting in a higher standard of living.  Secondly, in the process of helping others, the Wall Street professionals themselves will see their own lives transformed and re-“purposed."  Third, to expand the reach and the impact of this transformation process, all aspects of Exodus will be captured on film.  This will be used to create a first-of-its-kind “real-time reality” Internet experience, an unprecedented reality television show and a ground-breaking documentary film.
 
The initial pioneers of this concept will be a group of 12 men who will spend 12 months creating self-sustaining businesses for the people of Bridgeport, Connecticut.
