Robert Kevin Rose (born 1977) is an American Internet entrepreneur who co-founded Revision3, Digg, Pownce, and Milk. He also served as production assistant and co-host at TechTV’s The Screen Savers. From 2012 to 2015, he was a venture partner at GV.
Yeah he was on Screen Savers with Sarah Lane (who he dated) and then Alex Albrecht. TechTV was bought by G4 and Screen Savers became Attack of the Show. While at TechTV, he started digg and actually advertised it on the Screen Savers, without clarifying that he was the owner (sneaky). Later, G4 fired all the Tech TV staff, so Kevin worked on digg full time. He went on to start diggnation podcast with Alex Albrecht — which they’ve recently brought back. As many know, when digg v4 launched, it was widely rejected, and the site lost its user base to Reddit. Now he’s trying to revive it with one of the Reddit cofounders after more than a decade.
