Richard Titus

CEO, Entrepreneur, and coach in California

I’m Titus — a serial entrepreneur, operator, and mentor, currently building Kimono, a privacy-first relationship intelligence platform. Over more than three decades and close to 20 startups, I’ve co-founded companies including Razorfish, Schematic, and Prompt.ly, and served in board and chairman roles at companies such as Diem and Videoplaza.

Earlier in my career, I played a central role in creating foundational consumer technologies that shaped modern digital media. This includes helping build BBC iPlayer, the world’s first broadcast television streaming service, predating platforms like Hulu and Netflix, as well as early Comcast cable television streaming services. At Samsung Electronics, I helped create and scale FRAME TV and smart appliances, redefining how consumers experience screens and connected technology in the home.

I also helped reinvent online news and digital publishing at scale, leading digital transformations at the BBC and the Daily Mail that reshaped how millions of people consume news, video, and interactive media. My work sits at the intersection of media, technology, product, and platform design.

For the past six years, I’ve been a Fellow at the Creative Destruction Lab (CDL), one of the world’s leading deep-science accelerators, where I’ve advised hundreds of early-stage companies across AI, machine learning, blockchain, food systems, and space technology. Collectively, companies I’ve worked with have gone on to create more than $14B in enterprise value.

Today, my focus is on building and advising companies that drive meaningful technological, social, and climate progress — and on helping founders build and maintain relationships without turning them into transactions.
