More than a decade later, he returns to TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, happening October 27-29 at San Francisco’s Moscone West, to talk about relaunching Digg alongside Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian — and to share what that experience taught him about product, community, and building through turbulence. In this fireside chat, Rose will reveal how he evaluates founders, spots emerging opportunities, and applies lessons from his entrepreneurial journey to investing today. Expect candid insights on what it really takes to build and back enduring companies, from pivoting under pressure to finding conviction in a noisy market.
