Jewel Burks Solomon.

Jewel Burks Solomon is the Head of Google for Startups in the United States, where she leads programs supporting underrepresented founders and startup ecosystems across the country.

Before Google, Solomon co-founded Partpic, a computer vision technology company that allowed users to identify and order industrial parts by simply taking a photo. Partpic was acquired by Amazon in 2016, making Solomon one of the youngest African American women to lead a successful tech startup exit. At Google, she oversees programs providing funding, mentorship, and resources to thousands of startups, with a particular focus on increasing diversity in the technology sector. Solomon has been named to Forbes' 30 Under 30 and recognized by multiple organizations for her contributions to technology entrepreneurship and diversity in tech. Her dual role as both a successful founder and ecosystem builder positions her as one of the most impactful figures in American startup infrastructure, particularly for underrepresented communities.
