She graduated from Arizona State in 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts,[8][9] and continued working with The Arizona Republic.[6] In 2008, she was working with an online publisher in Chicago but started having interests in online education.[6] In 2012, she joined the cast of entrepreneurs in the reality television series Silicon Valley where she worked as an account manager and head of sales for Ampush Media. During the series, she quit Ampush and created a startup business called Shonova which focused on the fashion industry.[13] However, Shonova lasted a few weeks before she gave that up.[6] In June 2013, Taylor joined Kaplan EdTech Accelerator, a partnership between Kaplan, Inc. and Techstars which hosts, mentors, and funds startup companies in education technology and product innovation for a three-month program in New York City.[1][2] As part of joining EdTech, she co-founded with childhood friend Cecilia Retelle the online degree company Ranku and served as the Chief Executive Officer.[17][18][19] She named it after the Japanese rending of the phrase rank. The goal of the company was to enable non-profit universities that offer online degrees to compete with the larger for-profit online degree companies such as University of Phoenix.[20] Mark Cuban was the lead investor in Ranku.[6][22] Business Insider named Taylor one of “Silicon Alley Top 100 Coolest People In New York Tech” in 2013.[23] In 2016, Ranku was acquired by John Wiley & Sons.[24] Taylor founded the company Cluster, which aims to help job seekers in the manufacturing industry.[5] References1. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/kim-taylor-in-techstars-education-class-2013-6 |title=Reality TV Star Kim Taylor Has A New Startup, And It Got Her Into A Top-Notch Accelerator Program |last=Dickey |first=Megan Rose |date=June 18, 2013 |website=Business Insider |access-date=October 10, 2018}} [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]2. ^{{cite journal | url=https://www.crainsnewyork.com/assets/pdf/CN9346438.PDF | format=PDF | journal=Crain's New York Business | volume=30 | number=10 | title=Accelerator's Equity Grab – Pick the Right Platform | first=Judith | last=Messina | publication-date=March 10, 2014 | page=16 }} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{Cite web |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/meet-kim-taylor-one-of-silicon-alleys-rising-stars-2013-9 |title=Meet Kim Taylor, The Silicon Alley Star Who Wants To Fix Online Education |last=Dickey |first=Megan Rose |date=September 27, 2013 |website=Business Insider |access-date=October 9, 2018}} 4. ^1 {{Cite web |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/kim-taylors-startup-ranku-2013-6 |title=Ex-NBA Dancer Ditches Fashion Startup And Instead Launches An Online Education Startup |last=Dickey |first=Megan Rose |date=June 20, 2013 |website=Business Insider |access-date=October 10, 2018}} 5. ^1 {{Cite web |url=https://www.cnbc.com/video/2013/09/06/mark-cubans-latest-venture.html |title=Mark Cuban's latest venture |date=September 6, 2013 |website=CNBC |access-date=October 9, 2018 |medium=online video}} 6. ^1 {{Cite web |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/silicon-alley-100-2013-2013-10 |title=SA 100 2013: The Coolest People In New York Tech |last=Dickey |first=Megan Rose |last2=D'Onfro |first2=Jillian |date=October 24, 2013 |website=Business Insider |access-date=October 9, 2018}} 7. ^1 {{Cite web |url=http://edtechchronicle.com/2016/09/5-questions-with-ranku-ceo-kim-taylor/ |title=5 Questions with Ranku CEO Kim Taylor |last=Newton |first=Derek |date=September 26, 2016 |website=EdTech Chronicle |access-date=October 9, 2018}} 8. ^1 2 {{Cite web |url=https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/228658 |title=How This Young Founder Went From Reality Star to Disruptive Entrepreneur |last=Huspeni |first=Andrea |date=October 2, 2013 |website=Entrepreneur |access-date=October 9, 2018}} 9. ^1 2 {{Cite web |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereknewton/2018/04/19/finding-entrepreneurial-solutions-to-the-career-education-pipeline-problem/#235a137c1273 |title=Finding Entrepreneurial Solutions To The Career Education Pipeline Problem |last=Newton |first=Derek |date=April 19, 2018 |website=Forbes |access-date=October 9, 2018}} 10. ^1 {{Cite press release |url=https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2015/10/ftc-announces-agenda-panelists-upcoming-lead-generation-workshop |title=FTC Announces Agenda, Panelists for Upcoming Lead Generation Workshop |date=October 19, 2015 |website=Federal Trade Commission |access-date=October 9, 2018}} 11. ^1 {{Cite web |url=https://www.geekwire.com/2014/reality-tv-star-former-nba-dancer-moving-online-education-company-nyc-seattle/ |title=This reality TV star and online education expert is moving her Mark Cuban-backed startup from NYC to Seattle |last=Cook |first=John |date=April 30, 2014 |website=GeekWire |access-date=October 9, 2018}} 12. ^1 {{Cite web |url=https://jewishbusinessnews.com/2013/11/12/kim-taylor-picks-up-a-further-650000-in-funding-for-ranku/ |title=Kim Taylor Picks Up A Further $650,000 In Funding For Ranku |last=Green |first=Stanley |date=November 12, 2013 |website=Jewish Business News |access-date=October 9, 2018}} 13. ^1 {{Cite web |url=https://www.pjstar.com/article/20131102/NEWS/311029961 |title=The Sexiest Startup CEOs Alive!
