In this episode, Greg Osuri, Founder and CEO of Akash Network, dives into the meaning of liberty, sovereignty, and freedom in the context of the decentralized web. He shares his founder journey, the obstacles he’s overcome, and why community remains at the heart of Web3 innovation.
Greg reflects on the experience of building in Web3, the shift from Web2 models, and the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance as a founder. He also discusses the power of open-source technology, the growing relevance of decentralized AI, and how governments may shape its development moving forward.
As the visionary behind Akash Network, Greg is helping redefine the future of cloud computing through decentralization. Before launching Akash, he founded AngelHack, the world’s largest hackathon network with over 100,000 developers across 50 cities. Earlier in his career, he worked at IBM and went on to design Kaiser Permanente’s first cloud architecture.
Enjoy this in-depth conversation with hosts Kenzi Nakamura, Sachi Tanaka, and Diksha Mehra, as Greg shares his perspective on the convergence of Web3 and AI—and his mission to build infrastructure that preserves freedom and access for all.
