| Hey | Zachary Smith is CEO and co-founder of Datum, and previously founded Packet (acquired by Equinix for $335M) and Voxel (acquired for $35M). His background is unusual for infrastructure. He trained as a classical bassist at Juilliard before moving into building internet and cloud companies. | Here, Zac talks about why he thinks the internet is heading toward its biggest shift since the rise of the cloud. As AI agents and a growing number of applications put new strain on the open web, Zac makes the case that the public internet model may not hold — and that private networks, closer in structure to something like the Visa network, could become the norm. | | Also available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts. | Are you ready to launch AI transformation for your company? | |
