What does it take to build a technology company that lasts nearly 30 years?
In this episode of Varsity Ventures, I sit down with Dallas Kashuba, co-founder of DreamHost, one of the world's largest web hosting companies. Dallas shares how DreamHost started as a college project, why the company chose to remain bootstrapped, and how it grew into a business supporting millions of websites.
We discuss the early days of the internet, the rise of AI, the importance of open-source software, lessons from decades of entrepreneurship, and why founders should carefully think before raising venture capital.
Whether you're interested in startups, technology, or building something that lasts, this conversation offers practical insights from someone who has experienced multiple generations of change in the tech industry.
