S9 E1: From Turning Down a Competitor to Powering Roblox and GameStop: Scaling a Global Edge Network Without Wall Street Capital with Matt Levine of CacheFly

Matt Levine grew up in Toronto, and played sports as a baseball catcher. During his teens, he got injured and had to sit out during the season. And during that time, he started to dig into computers, and became hooked. He started several businesses in High School, and later founded eFront. Outside of tech, he is married with a couple of kids, and likes top lay golf.While working in Arizona, Matt was approached by a now competitor called LimeLight. He knew the founders, and he was approached to become a team member - specifically to help start a network. He felt that it wasn't a good time to do that - BUT, it was a good time to start and build a CDN.This is the creation story of CacheFly.SponsorsCacheFlyClearQueryLinkshttps://www.cachefly.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/exile2k/Checkout our episode stacks on Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
