Peter Rojas is a renowned tech entrepreneur and venture capitalist known for founding several successful websites, including Gizmodo, Engadget, Joystiq, RCRD LBL, and gdgt, and for his leadership roles at AOL and Meta. Peter studied social studies at Harvard University, and English literature at the University of Sussex before starting his career in journalism as an associate editor at Red Herring Magazine.

After his prolific stint in tech journalism, Peter founded Gizmodo in 2002, which was later acquired by the media conglomerate Gawker Media, where he worked as editor-in-chief. In 2004, he co-founded Engadget, a tech news website that became one of the most successful in the industry. His other ventures, RCRD LBL, Joystiq, and gdgt, have also been successful, attracting funding from top investors.

In 2015, Peter became the VP of Strategy at AOL, where he co-created and developed Alpha, a tech and media experimental platform. He later became a partner at Betaworks Ventures, and advisor to Fisher Wallace Laboratories, before co-founding NPE at Meta as the head of product.

Peter's expertise in media, technology, and venture capital has made him a sought-after speaker, and his opinions on tech and innovation are regularly featured in major publications.
