Episode Description

What does it take to be a founder?


Michelle Zatlyn co-founded Cloudflare as an MBA student on a simple, unfashionable bet: give the product away, and make the internet safer for everyone. Today, Cloudflare protects millions of websites and carries roughly a fifth of all internet traffic. Along the way, Michelle became one of the world’s rare self-made female tech billionaires.


This is The Founder Mindset with Reza Satchu.
