Joey Rahmi is many things – a writer, a mentor, an investor, a leader – but first and foremost, he’s an entrepreneur. Since launching his first company in a Carnegie Mellon University dorm room while pursuing a BS in Entrepreneurship, Joey has helped 20+ companies go from ideas scribbled down on napkins or floating around a would-be founder’s head to real-world success stories.
Born in Manhattan, Joey grew up surrounded and inspired by fast-paced, idea-driven people, a mindset that he brought with him to his adopted hometown of Pittsburgh, PA in 1997. Since co-founding Niche.com in 2001, Joey has leveraged his branding, sales, and marketing skills to launch and lead innovative companies that disrupted their individual industries, like Branding Brand, Aiken House, and REALLY Wireless. He has over 20 years of experience leading designers, developers, marketers, and now data scientists in creating and scaling sustainable marketing solutions.
Today, Joey is still dedicated to turning great ideas into even better companies, but he also focuses on helping the next generation of marketers do the same. When he’s not sifting through analytics or keeping the creativity flowing in a branding brainstorming sesh, you can find Joey waving a Terrible Towel at a Steeler’s game or at home, spending time with his wife, kids, and pet chickens.
