Kevin Rose Biography

Kevin Rose is an internet entrepreneur and venture capitalist recognized for his influence on the evolution of the social web. Rose is known for co-founding the social news platform Digg and the web television network Revision3. He gained early experience as the host of "The Screen Savers" on TechTV before transitioning into a series of entrepreneurial ventures in digital media and technology.

Rose co-founded Digg, a platform that enabled users to share and vote on news stories, contributing to the development of social media engagement and crowd-curated news. Digg introduced voting as a signal for algorithmic content suggestions, a concept later adopted widely across social media platforms. Rose also co-hosted "Diggnation," a video podcast centered on Digg's top stories, which helped establish the podcast medium and featured guests from across the technology and entertainment industries. In addition to Digg, Rose co-founded Revision3, a digital media network acquired by Discovery Channel. His entrepreneurial projects include launching apps such as Zero, focused on intermittent fasting, and Oak, a meditation app.

Rose has held leadership positions including CEO of HODINKEE and general partner at Google Ventures, where he invested in companies such as Uber, Slack, and Nextdoor. As an early angel investor, Rose built a portfolio that includes Twitter, Facebook, Zynga, Square, Medium, Wealthfront, Oura, Solana, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Magic Spoon. He also founded Proof, a company known for its NFT project Moonbirds, reflecting his engagement in Web3 and blockchain technology.

Rose hosts "The Kevin Rose Show" and co-hosts "The Random Show" with Tim Ferriss. He has also reunited with Alex Albrecht to reboot "Diggnation." In his investment career, Rose served as a partner at True Ventures, supporting founders across a portfolio of more than 500 companies. He has been recognized by Forbes, Time, and MIT, with honors including Forbes Top 25 Web Celebrity, Time Top 25 Most Influential People on the Web, MIT Top 35 Innovator Under 35, and five Webby Awards. Rose holds multiple social media patents and maintains an active presence in technology, entrepreneurship, and venture capital, while also practicing Zen meditation.
