About Everette Taylor

From homeless high school student to CEO of Kickstarter, Everette Taylor’s journey is a testament to grit, resilience, and creative brilliance. Once living in his car while attending school, Taylor now leads the world’s premier crowdfunding platform—and is one of the few Black CEOs in tech today. Known for championing artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs, he brings bold vision and inclusive leadership to Kickstarter.

Before taking the helm, Taylor served as CMO at Artsy, the largest online fine art marketplace. There, he drove record-breaking revenue and user growth, earning accolades from Forbes and Business Insider as one of the world’s most influential and innovative CMOs.

A lifelong entrepreneur, Taylor launched his first company, EZ Events, at 19 and went on to found several ventures under ET Enterprises, including PopSocial, ArtX, GrowthHackers, and MilliSense. His work earned him spots on Forbes 30 Under 30 and 30 Under 30 All-Star lists.

Beyond business, Taylor supports the arts through leadership roles with Chisenhale Gallery and Art at a Time Like This, both dedicated to socially engaged, cutting-edge art. Though he left college early, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Shaw University for his impactful contributions to society.

At Kickstarter, Taylor has sparked a new era—expanding access, amplifying underrepresented voices, and empowering creators worldwide.
