The Curious Learners
I feel privileged to speak to so many great minds as part of my job. They are passionate builders, insightful investors, laser-focused leaders. They are all curious learners in their own way. It is their urge to learn more. That urge is curiosity. When I speak to these people, I hear fascinating ideas, solid business plans, genius growth hacking practices, relentless team building focus, unique investing strategies and many others. However, most of the time, key insights, business intelligence and inspiring stories shared in these conversations do not make their way to the outside world. The Curious Learners is an attempt to share the stories of those curious learners with those, who might find the inspiration that they were looking for or those who might get the encouragement for their own journey that they already started. Looking forward to a long journey together.

Josh Benaron | Scaling Web 3.0 Storage | The Curious Learners Ep. 23
My guest today is Josh Benaron. He is the founder and CEO of Bundlr, which is an essential scaling solution for the decentralized storage network Arweave.
His story from learning to code on his own to building Bundlr at a time when Arweave would hit network capacity is fascinating!
Josh and I had a great conversation about everything decentralized storage and more:
- Introduction to Blockchain: Youtube videos for new technologies
- Bundlr one-liner: network that bridges web 2.0 and web 3.0 storage
- Bundlr working principle: more secure version of roll-ups, as no dependance on layer 2 state
- Ukraine archiving project: came to life on the back of his conversations with Sam Williams from Arweave.
- The most surprising thing in Blockchain: strong community.
- The most interesting problem to solve: not surprisingly, scaling.
- Most curious these days about: history and how hierarchies within big states worked.
Please enjoy my conversation with Josh Benaron.
