“Cloudflare's mission is to help build a better Internet. People ask though, what does that mean? Our customers are Internet property. Anything connected online can use Cloudflare and we help make sure we protect our customers from cybersecurity attacks.” — Michelle Zatlyn Michelle Zatlyn, COO of Cloudflare, founded Cloudflare in 2009 and has since grown the company from start-up to multi-billion-dollar public company in just 10 years. “The Cloudflare story is almost like a fairy tale in many ways. It's what Silicon Valley is made out of. The Cloudflare origin story goes back to being students." Michelle’s story is in many ways a model of success. She graduated from Harvard in 2009, where she met fellow co-founders, Lee Holloway and Matthew Prince. Together, they started Cloudflare using the Project Honey Pot model they created. Fast forward a decade and the company has a valuation of over $4 billion, thousands of users, and recently IPO’d. But like any startup story, the founding and growth of Cloudflare has had its ups and downs. On today’s episode, Michelle shares that very origin story, and dives into the importance — really, the necessity — of building a better Internet. — Mission Daily and all of our podcasts are created with love by our team at Mission.org.
