Kelli N. Jones is a venture capital investor at Sixty8 Capital who brings a background as a former music and entertainment executive at companies like Def Jam and Sony, working on projects for artists such as Ludacris and Rihanna, which she connects to how she evaluates storytelling, brand, and audience for founders. She co-founded Be Nimble Foundation years before launching Sixty8 Capital, designing programs for Black and Brown communities and positioning the fund as an extension of that ecosystem-building work rather than a standalone investment vehicle.

Notable Investments
Sixty8 Capital is a seed-stage venture fund that deliberately operates from Indianapolis to back Black, Brown, women, LGBTQ+, and disabled founders across the Midwest and South, arguing that coastal VCs systematically overlook innovation from these underrepresented groups in "flyover" regions. The fund is built on years of grassroots work running Black tech incubators and pitch competitions, and operates alongside Be Nimble Foundation to create an integrated platform spanning workforce development, accelerators, and pre-seed/seed capital—with a stated goal of creating 100 millionaires from historically overlooked communities.
