Kim Butler is a serial entrepreneur who started her first company, Kim’s Khocolate, at the age of eleven. She was “discovered” by Guy Kawasaki at the age of seventeen after he read about her in a magazine. He invited her to make custom “Khocolate” for Apple, which lead to Kim dealing with other companies such as The Rolling Stones, AT&T, Bausch & Lomb, and Range Rover.
Kim co-founded Good Dog in a Box with her sister, professional dog trainer Jenn Merritt, CPDT-KA, to help educate the general public about dog bite prevention and provide reward based dog training systems and products that could keep more family dogs in their homes, instead of being relinquished to shelters because of “bad behavior and biting.”
In addition to Good Dog in a Box, Kim runs a successful online marketing agency, where she “practices” as The URL Dr, “prescribing” remedies for online success to a variety of clients around the US. You can see Kim speaking and inspiring audiences with her entrepreneurial tales and online marketing strategies at various conferences and events around the country.
