Episode 146 Mike Kane from Hydrogen
Welcome to the first Thursday morning episode! In this episode the host, John Siracusa chats with Mike Kane, Co Founder of Hydrogen. They talk about why Mike created Hydrogen in the first place and the journey that led him and his brother to go from Hedgeable to organically creating Hydrogen, a service that all companies in the financial web 3.0 need. Hydrogen is not a huge VC backed firm, yet they are able to take on behemoths like Salesforce. Mike feels that web 3.0 needs to be a very open environment, something that large corporate entities can't do. The story to why Hydrogen was created rooted from a need they had at an earlier company and with the advent of Blockchain, many companies share the same need. Tune in if you like a great story and how the financial web might be powered.
