The Internet's Next Business Model: A Conversation with Cloudflare's Matthew Prince
I just released a new episode of The Slow Hunch with Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder of Cloudflare. Since we invested in their Series C back in 2013, I've watched Matthew and his team build one of the most critical pieces of internet infrastructure—protecting and accelerating vast portions of global web traffic.

As part of my series on Regulation 2.0, which I'm putting together for the Project on Municipal Innovation at the Harvard Kennedy School, today I am going to employ a bit of a cop-out tactic and rather than publish my next section (which I haven't finished yet, largely because my whole family has the flu right now), I will publish a report written earlier this year by my friend Max Pomeranc. Max is a former congressional chief of staff, who did his masters at the Kennedy School last year. For his "policy analysis exercise" (essentially a thesis paper) Max looked at regulation and the peer economy, exploring the idea of a "2.0" approach. I was Max's advisor for the paper, and he has since gone on to a policy job at Airbnb. Max did a great job of looking at two recent examples of peer economy meets regulation: the California ridesharing rules, and the JOBS act for equity crowdfunding, and exploring some concepts which could be part of a "2.0" approach to regulation. His full report is here. Relatively quick read, a good starting place for thinking about these ideas. I am off to meet Max for breakfast as we speak! More tomorrow.
