Rob Kenedi

Rob Kenedi has spent over two decades turning great tech stories into must‑listen shows and turning startups into real businesses. He created and hosts Decelerator, a talk‑show‑meets‑podcast where he has candid conversations with founders, investors, and ecosystem builders who are rewriting the tech playbook. Before Decelerator, Rob launched two influential series, the BetaKit podcast and Entrepreneurs in Small Rooms Drinking Coffee, that have shaped tech dialogue since 2014.

Off‑mic, Rob is a repeat founder and operator: he’s led venture‑backed and bootstrapped tech companies, helped lead a notable services firm to a Deloitte acquisition, ran one of the first mobile companies, and is a trusted leader and community leader in the ecosystem. Today he advises startups from pre‑seed to scale‑up, unblocking growth with hard‑won operating insight and an unmatched network.
