Kevin Rose is a Partner at True Ventures, a venture capital firm with over $2 billion under management, where he transitioned from venture partner to full-time general partner after previously serving as a general partner at Google Ventures (GV). His investment thesis targets extremely early-stage, high-risk ventures in consumer internet, life sciences, AI, consumer health, and Web3/blockchain, typically at the Seed and Series A stages. Rose usually invests between $1 million and $3 million per deal, representing roughly 1% of True Ventures’ primary fund, and often acts as a lead investor in these early rounds. Notable portfolio companies include Twitter, Facebook, Square, OpenAI, Ripple, Solana, and Oura, with Bloomberg naming him a “Top 25 Angel Investor” for these early bets. He distinguishes himself through a public focus on peak personal performance and minimal living, hosting the podcasts “Foundation” and “The Kevin Rose Show” to explore these themes. Rose also re-purchased and rebooted Digg, the social news site he founded in 2004, in 2025 alongside Alexis Ohanian, reflecting his ongoing engagement with media innovation.
