HELLO! I'M KENRICK.
I am a staff writer at Forbes Magazine.
I write about startups, venture capital and artificial intelligence. I'm also editor of the AI 50, Cloud 100 and 30 Under 30 for Enterprise Technology.
I joined Forbes as an intern in 2019. I have been a staff writer since February 2024.
I received a B.S. from Duke University. I was the news editor for The Chronicle, the university's independent daily newspaper. One summer, I watched movies and wrote words for The Ringer.
I grew up in upstate New York and now live in San Francisco with my cat, Ornette.
