“As an investor, you kind of have to not only say, okay, cool tech, sure, but emotionally, how does it make me feel? And how does it make others feel around me?”
Now again under Rose’s control, the new Digg is creating a place for people to socialize and connect online within communities, similar to Reddit, but it has different ideas about how such a platform should work at a time when bots are nearly indistinguishable from humans.
Kevin Rose, Digg founder and True Ventures partner, returns to the Disrupt Stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 to talk pivots, reinvention, and spotting the next wave of breakout startups.
