Colin Kaepernick at Summit and The Show!

‍

Legendary quarterback, philanthropist, and entrepreneur Colin Kaepernick will join us as a keynote speaker for both The AI Show @ ASU+GSV and the ASU+GSV Summit!

A leader on and off the field, Colin is a prolific entrepreneur and education champion. Most recently, he founded Lumi, an AI-driven storytelling platform that democratizes content creation with tools to produce, publish, and merchandise stories independently, both digitally and physically. Lumi aims to give ALL people storytelling superpowers, turning ideas into finished products through an AI-enhanced creative process.

In 2016, he founded Know Your Rights Camp, empowering Black and Brown youth through education and elevating the next generation of change leaders. He is also the founder of Kaepernick Publishing and the author of several children’s books, including his recent release with Scholastic, We Are Free, You & Me, and New York Times bestseller I Color Myself Different. He’s also won an Emmy as part of Nike’s “Dream Crazy” campaign, and his self-produced Netflix documentary series Colin in Black & White has won two NAACP Image Awards.

As a quarterback, Colin spent six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, setting the all-time NFL record for most rushing yards (181) in a game by a quarterback. He also led the team to an appearance in Super Bowl XLVII – their first Super Bowl appearance in over a decade.

Colin continues to bridge sports, activism, and community impact as he fights for equal access to the future for ALL. We are thrilled to welcome him to San Diego in April!
