Mitchell Hashimoto, Founder Of HashiCorp, Creator Of Vagrant, Packer, Serf, Consul, Terraform, Vault, And Nomad

Some great things tend to come from unexpected beginnings. Mitchell Hashimoto never planned on building a business around open-source. A couple of pivotal moments later, he decided to build HashiCorp, eventually leading to the creation of Vagrant, Packer, Serf, Consul, Terraform, Vault, and Nomad. He joins host Ben Rometsch to talk about his interesting journey and share some of his hard-earned wisdom along the way. How did they look for funders, scale the company, and monetize? What guided them in figuring out the licensing and philosophy on what’s open and not? What are the problems they see in the industry that needs fixing? Mitchell answers these questions and more in this episode.
