The Balanced, Beautiful and Abundant Show- Rebecca Whitman

Jeff Knauss is a serial entrepreneur & angel investor. In 2021, he received an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from SUNY Oswego after graduating in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in public relations with a concentration in marketing.
His entrepreneurial journey started as the CEO & Co-founder (alongside his business partner Jake Tanner) of Digital Hyve, a full-service digital marketing agency with offices in Syracuse and Rochester, NY.
Digital Hyve was named the 52nd fastest private growing company in the United States by Inc. Magazine in their annual Inc. 5,000 edition and was also named the 5th fastest growing Marketing & Advertising Company in the nation. They were listed on the Inc. 5,000 list 5 years in a row.
After scaling Digital Hyve to an 8-figure revenue company, Jeff sold Digital Hyve to an independently owned ad agency, which resulted in DH’s 56 employees becoming employee-owners of the business through an ESOP. This has been Jeff’s proudest professional moment as it honored the employees that helped build Digital Hyve.
Jeff has been featured in Entrepreneur Magazine, Adweek, Inc. Magazine, Fortune Magazine, Facebook.com Success Stories, and multiple television news networks.
He is currently a partner and investor in 13 businesses ranging from various startups focused on medical research, professional networking, mobile payment apps, commercial real estate, 3 restaurants (Hidden Fish, Clover’s, and XO Taco), diversity recruitment, and e-commerce.
Prior to starting Digital Hyve, Jeff spent 8 years in broadcast television.
