About Kelly Fryer

Executive Director at FinTech Sandbox - enabling early-stage FinTech founders to build impactful products by giving free access to essential data. If you're a startup interested in being a part of the Sandbox or an enterprise looking to support the FinTech community, send us a note at info@fintechsandbox.org. In my 3+ years running the Barclays Accelerator, powered by Techstars in New York, I selected 30 early-stage startups, supported a global portfolio of over 180+ FinTechs, and sourced & evaluated thousands of others. In addition to working with founders, I managed ecosystem events - from FinTech BizDev Day to networking receptions - to connect corporate executives, investors, and mentors to my portfolio. My passion is helping others to reach their success, and working in venture capital allows me to do exactly that. Prior to joining Techstars, I worked for Bloomberg LP in data analytics and then leading projects for our tech initiatives. I earned my MBA in Corporate Innovation & Venture Development from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business.
