Andy Ory sold his last company, Acme Packet, to Oracle for $2.1 billion and soon after co-founded 128 Technology. 128 Technology is on a mission to fix the broken internet. The internet isn’t used for what it was originally designed for and that is putting a major strain on the networking infrastructure. 128 Technology provides greater network security delivered with a much simpler experience for a fraction of the usual cost.

 

In this episode, Andy talks about:

 

Why the Internet is broken and how it got that way

 

What he was able to take away from Acme Packet and apply to 128 Technology

 

How their secure vector routing and zero-trust security is disrupting the market

 

How he sees the Internet continuing to evolve
