Kelly Burton

Hi there! Grateful to be connected. So, when it comes to me, here are the highlights.

I'm an entrepreneur's entrepreneur. I've launched 3 businesses in 10 years, the most recent being Founders of Color where our sole mission is to help entrepreneurs of color to scale and grow their businesses. Additionally, I serve as Co-convener for the Black Innovation Alliance, a national coalition of ecosystem leaders dedicated to increasing Black access to the innovation economy.

I'm a recovering academic. I'm interested in big ideas, applied to the real world.

I've got a lot to say. I'm an avid writer and do a good bit of speaking on issues related to everything from brand building to racial justice and economic inclusion.

I'm a Linkedin super-user with more than 70K followers, and the author of "Mastering Linkedin: How I Used the World's Largest Network to Build a Nationally Recognized Brand". My Linkedin Live series, "Mondays with Kelly" tackles issues of life, faith and work.
