Whoever has the lowest cost to serve customers always wins.

How do you bring those costs down? You solve really hard problems on the internet.

We covered:
- how he met co-founders Michelle Zatlyn and Lee Holloway
- the early experiments and risks that shaped Cloudflare
- stories from the company’s pre-IPO days
- the decision to make encryption free
- how their infra ended up running 2 of the internet’s 13 root servers

I’ve known Matthew since USV’s investment in Cloudflare’s Series C back in 2013, and it was really fun tracing his slow hunch, right from those early days.

I spoke w/ @cloudflare.social co-founder & CEO Matthew Prince ( @eastdakota.com) for the latest ep of the Slow Hunch podcast.

Since 2010, Matthew and his team have built Cloudflare into one of the most important companies on the internet: powering and protecting vast portions of global traffic.
