1. The Story of Helium (w/ Amir Haleem)

Helium co-founder and CEO Amir Haleem guides us through Helium's journey to build a wireless network for low-power sensors.It's a fascinating story filled with twists and turns, failure and success, and one overarching mission to fill an aching demand in the tech world that, for some reason, nobody has been able to fill until now.We cover lots of ground here, including the beginnings of the company, fundraising, technology choices, the cryptoeconomic model and visions for the future.A fair warning, our discussion gets fairly technical at times, but even if you're not technically inclined, I urge you to stick around, especially if you're interested in the grand idea of building a network that's powered and owned by people, not big telcos.Follow me: @rawrmaanFollow Amir: @amirhaleem Hosted by Arman Dezfuli-Arjomandi More episodes of The Hotspot are available on your favorite podcast app:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-hotspot-helium-network-blockchain-podcast/id1524379293Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Wi2U6g7GWzrYzgOcsEvybYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hotspotpodAmazon Music: https://www.amazon.com/Hotspot-Helium-Network-Blockchain-Podcast/dp/B08JJSSL57Resources:Follow me: https://x.com/rawrmaanFollow Helium: https://x.com/heliumFollow Helium Foundation: https://twitter.com/HeliumFndnFollow Helium Mobile: https://x.com/helium_mobileLearn more about Helium: https://www.helium.com/Intro song: Lakey Inspired - Arcade
