Britney Robbins (@graymatterexp) - How To Teach Entrepreneurship To Kids

Britney Robbins is the founder and CEO of The

Gray Matter Experience, a non-profit organization founded in 2016 to help Black high school

students learn about and practice

entrepreneurship. Britney hails from Quincy, IL

but moved to Chicago in 2009 after graduating

from The University of Illinois where she received

her B.A. in Rhetoric with an English minor.

Britney has worked within Chicago's

entrepreneurship and tech community for the

past four years working within some of Chicago's

top venture capital firms and incubators including

Sandbox Industries, Lightbank and 1871. She has

been recognized as one of Ariel Investment, BMO

Harris and WVON's 40 Under 40 Gamechangers,

Essence Magazine's Woke 100, a finalist for

Ebony Magazine's Power 100 People's Choice

Award, featured on Fox32, Chicago Inno,

BlackEntrepreneur.com, DNAInfo Chicago,

Chicago Tribune, and Essence Magazine for her

work through Gray Matter. She was also named

as one of five investees for Goodcity Chicago's

Women's Innovation Fund.

Prior to starting The Gray Matter Experience, Robbins worked for Honda Financial Services for two years post graduation. Upon leaving HFS, Britney worked for Chicago-based startup, Doggyloot as an Account Executive. It was in this role, she realized her interest in entrepreneurship as the company was a portfolio company under Sandbox Industries, a local

venture capital firm. After Doggyloot, she worked for three years as a Program Manager for Future Founders, a non-profit exposing youth to entrepreneurship. After helping low-income

students across the city learn about entrepreneurship, Britney recognized a gap that needed to be filled, thus The Gray Matter Experience was created.

Britney is passionate about the intersection of entrepreneurship, education and youth and

believes in empowering others to use their passions and strengths to create opportunities for themselves. In 2015, she authored and published her first children's book, The Adventures of Buster & Duval, and is working to release the second in the series this fall. Britney is committed to inspiring youth to reach their full potential and and aims to continue to create channels for them to do so.
