Wiping The Slate Clean: How Jeffery Thrasher Built a Business of Second Chances
October 15, 2025From security guard to entrepreneur, Jeffery Thrasher’s story is one of grit, vision, and second chances. As a member of the Entrenuity Accelerator Cohort (EAC), Jeffery has found mentorship and a community that fuels his purpose and help guide his business journey; reminding him that challenges are part of every entrepreneur’s path.
With an associate’s degree in business management and over a decade of experience working in Chicago Public Schools, Jeffery knew early on that he was destined for more than a 9-to-5. “I didn’t want to work for anybody,” he says. “At CPS, I realized that the position I was in was capped. I wanted more."
After trying a a couple entrepreneurial ventures, including party promoting and opening up a clothing store, Jeffery founded FTU Cleaning, alongside his father, in 2017. The commercial cleaning company quickly grew from his first contracts to generating $30,000 in revenue within its first year. His original milestone was $10,000 a month, which he surpassed in just six months. Today, Jeffery is focused on scaling FTU Cleaning to $100,000 a month and developing new systems to support sustainable growth.
