About Veronica Kirin

Veronica Kirin graduated with anthropology honors from Grand Valley State University with the intent to enter the nonprofit and humanitarian sector. She immediately enlisted with the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps where she was personally presented with the Spirit of Service Award by President George HW Bush and received the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Congressional Medals. Unfortunately, that disaster relief work left her with PTSD, and she was unable to continue her service work. She suffered silently for years, afraid of the stigma that comes with the condition. In 2010 she founded a nonprofit organization in an attempt to continue her service work. Though that organization ultimately failed, it was the spark that lit the entrepreneurial fire.

Today, Veronica is recognized as a Forbes NEXT 1000 entrepreneur and a 40 LGBTQ Leader Under 40 by Business Equality Network. She is the founder of the award-winning tech company GreenCup Digital and entrepreneur coach to socially-minded business leaders driven toward positive worldwide impact. Veronica has leveraged her anthropological training to study paradigm shifts, resulting in the award-winning book "Stories of Elders" which documents the high-tech revolution through interviews with those that lived it, and is today documenting the pandemic in real time through ongoing worldwide interviews. She speaks at entrepreneur conferences and events around the world and has presented two TEDx talks on her research. She is most passionate about LGBTQ Rights and Social Equity.
