When Sam Altman said in AI Startup School that now is the best time ever to start a company, I felt that deeply. In just two years, agentic AI has gone from science fiction to reality — performance doubling every 7–9 months, while costs have dropped to less than 1% of what they were in late 2022. But I also realized something: the existing internet wasn’t built for agents. Web2 assumes a human at the center, and most blockchains were built for financial transactions, not autonomous AI. Without native infrastructure — identity, trust, payments — agents can’t take the next step. That’s the gap we set out to close with Kite AI. And honestly, we had an unfair advantage. At ZettaBlock, my team and I lived through the chaos of blockchain data at Netflix scale: petabytes processed in sub-100ms, schema drift across dozens of protocols, verifiable feeds you could bet your business on. Those lessons became the foundation for Kite. We’ve gone from plumbing infra for data to powering billions of agent calls. Same DNA — trust, speed, verifiability — but now aimed at the agentic internet. The last year has been the hardest and most rewarding of my career. I’m more convinced than ever: the agent economy is coming fast, and Kite is here to give it the rails it deserves!
