Roneil Rumburg - Co-Founder & CEO at Audius

Today I’m speaking with Roneil Rumburg, Co-founder and CEO at Audius, a Web3 dapp that connects fans directly with artists with the mission to empower a new generation of artists on the decentralized web. As is made clear throughout this interview, Roneil’s entrepreneurial journey and the success of Audius are both perfect examples of what’s possible in Web3.Roneil, a self-described “builder,” is a brilliant founder and entrepreneur. It would be easy to overlook Roneil’s early success because of his soft-spoken and humble approach; but as you will hear, his background is very impressive, including time studying at Stanford University, a period of time working at Kleiner Perkins, a well-known investments firm, and eventually following his passion for building to experiences working as an entrepreneur, which culminated with the launch of Audius. During our discussion, Roneil talks about his early start as a software developer, beginning in high school, what drives his passion as a builder, the backstory behind Audius and the unique nature of the three-sided platform, and a great discussion of how Audius uses The Graph.
