From Homeless to Helpful... 

Just two years ago, 7 friends had lost their jobs, were broke, and homeless. Together, they found shelter in a tiny warehouse that once housed a doggie daycare. From those humble (and honestly embarrassing) beginnings, they began to carve out a better future for themselves. 

Together they bought a business that was about to go under. They rebranded it "Denver Outfitters" and turned it around. Over the next 24 months, these 7 friends have grown it into a business that has explosive growth and has been able to employ many more people. 

Denver Outfitters is a company that invents, designs, and innovates awesome products for the outdoor industry. 

When these 7 friends bought the company just two years ago, they made it their mission to bring every part of it back from outsourcing so they could provide jobs for others here in the States. This was a big task considering that EVERY part of the original company had already been outsourced when they bought it. 

But amazingly, in just two years, we’ve brought back every part except the part that will provide the most jobs back here in the U.S. --- Manufacturing. 


We are attempting to raise enough money to buy the equipment we need to accomplish this. Once we have the equipment, we can quickly begin putting many more people to work with good paying full time employment.

If you would like to help us bring jobs back, please consider throwing in with us on this endeavor. If we all do this together, we believe other companies will see it’s possible and might have the courage to do it as well.

Perhaps you know someone who’s lost his or her job to outsourcing. Maybe you, like us, see that we must do all we can to provide jobs back here in the U.S. And so we are asking for 250,000 people to give us $10. With that, we believe we can add hundreds (if not thousands) of jobs over the next 5, 10 and 20 years. If you can do more, that’s awesome. But if enough of us can do just $10 dollars, or what we can, we can start bringing jobs back today. And sure, it may not impact your life directly, but you'd be helping others and sending a message of hope to all those who have felt the sting of their jobs being shipped off for cheaper labor. You'd be saying, “Some of us do care, and we’ll find answers together.” 

Look, no foreign country is going to simply give jobs back to the U.S. Clearly, they are going to have to be taken.  Taken back by average American men and women who believe we have to assure a better future for ourselves today and for our children tomorrows. 

Please consider joining us as Job Pirates and taking some jobs back for those here who badly need them.
