S7 Bonus: Solving the Blockchain Storage Bottleneck: Building Dedicated Gateways & "Submarined" Data with Kyle Tut of Piñata

Kyle Tut started out his life wanting to be a car mechanic. His Mom affirmed his aspirations, but gave him the advice to make sure he owned the mechanic shop. He's taken interesting paths through the auto world, marketing, and eventually, into the tech world. Outside of tech, he is originally from North Dakota but now lives in Nebraska, and enjoys the practicality of the way people think in the Midwest.

Kyle knew that storing data on the blockchain was expensive. At the same time, it wasn't fast, nor was it stable. He and his co-founder set out to build an unbelievably fast content delivery network, easily accessible across the world.

This is the creation story of Piñata.
