Manage episode 464218937 series 3012250
In this episode of Web3 with Sam Kamani, I speak with Kai, founder of ICN (Impossible Cloud Network), a Web3-powered alternative to AWS and traditional cloud computing.
Kai, a serial entrepreneur who scaled a gaming company to 1,400+ employees, saw firsthand the inefficiencies and costs of centralized cloud infrastructure. Now, he’s on a mission to build a decentralized cloud network that offers high-performance storage, computing, and AI-ready infrastructure at a fraction of the cost.
🔹 Why AWS and Big Tech’s cloud dominance is unsustainable
🔹 How ICN is onboarding Web2 enterprise customers into Web3
🔹 The challenges of decentralized storage & compute—and how ICN solves them
🔹 How AI is reshaping cloud computing and data storage
🔹 Why decentralization is the future of enterprise cloud solutions
If you’re a founder, investor, or just curious about how Web3 is disrupting cloud computing, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss!
