Katie Krueger is a writer, teacher, and social entrepreneur.  She is the author of Give with Gratitude: Lessons Learned Listening to West Africa.

Her entrepreneurship began in 2003 while living in Dakar, Senegal. With two friends, she cofounded a nonprofit lunch program Project Japale Goune, which today feeds over 10,000 lunches to elementary school children living in Dakar each year. Soon after, Katie continued her entrepreneurial pursuits by starting a publishing company and a grant writing business. After earning her MBA in Entrepreneurship from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business, she became the first full-time employee of Spill, a Tech Stars start-up with a social mission: to help college students connect with supportive and empathetic peers online. Along with the Spill founder, another UW-Madison alumna, Katie fundraised over $400,000 and won first place in the the Global Social Venture Competition in 2012.
